Descriptions du produit

From AudioFile

At age 58 John Steinbeck and his venerable standard poodle, Charley, set out on a journey across America in a camper. For three months these companions traveled the nation, meeting friends, strangers, relatives and immersing themselves in the fabric of the country as it was at that time. Gary Sinise does a grand job giving life to Steinbeck's words. While his regional accents don't always hit the mark, the listener is happy to forgive because of the love and respect Sinise accords the Steinbeck story. Eight hours is a lot of listening time, but it passes all too quickly with this wonderful version of an American treasure. S.G. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.

Ingram

At the age of 58, Steinbeck, with his French poodle Charley, set out to redisover the country he had been writing about about for so long--from Maine to California.8 cassettes. --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Good book; buy it used, Mars 16 2004
This review is from: Travels with Charley: In Search of America (School & Library Binding)
I recently bought the library binding so that I could loan this book to my friends and students and not worry about it falling apart from use. However, I'm more than slightly disappointed with the quality. The library binding is nothing more than the mass market paperback in a hard cover. The paper is thin, dark, and of the poorest quality; the binding is of questionable stability and I doubt it will last as long as I had expected, and the overall feel and look of the book are poor.

The content of the book, however, is fantastic. Steinbeck shows the reader a side of America which, even in the early sixties, seemed extinct. What the book still offers is a glimpse of America's core: Steinbeck sought out and found the small and quiet remains of the foundation of what makes America such a unique country. Most striking of all is that this is a book that could have been written just five or ten years ago -- it is incredibly timeless.

This book is a book to be read, not displayed, and Penguin's editions reflect this in their pure non-displayability. I suggest that when you go to buy this book you buy it used. Save yourself some money and buy copies which are just as good (my used copies are actually much nicer) and far cheaper than the library binding or the paperback version.

5.0étoiles sur 5 On The Road, Janv. 28 2004
This review is from: Travels With Charley (Paperback)
Our media culture is obsessed with superficial appearances. All information is processed at high speeds in small parcels. It is in the interest of the media/corporations to tell Americans what America is all about and how it is defined by their products.
Hey, everybody's got to make a buck; I've got nothing against that. And you can't deny that some of this stuff is fun and lighthearted.
But that's just it, there is no substance, it's all superficial. Undeniably pleasant, but essentially unsatisfying. That's not America.
I've travelled this country far and wide, and - while some of the specifics have changed - the America John Steinbeck went in search of still exists.
"Travles with Charley" invites us to look beyond the surface of the media bombardment. It introduces - or re-introduces - us to the people and places that truely form the backbone of this country. At the same time it takes us beyond place and reminds us of the humanity of those around us; something that can be easily lost in the sound-byte/video-clip culture that we live in.

4.0étoiles sur 5 tremendous book, Janv. 4 2004
This review is from: Travels With Charley (Paperback)
i study english language at faculty of philosophy in rijeka, croatia and we have to read books to improve our vocabulary. i chose this one and i was totally surprised. i love it so much! it gives a great account of america in the 60's but it also gives a warm story about a man and a dog!it could be read as a travel book, as a realistic fiction etc. i recommend it to everyone who enjoy reading absolutely great books!
