About this audiobook

El joven Pip es protagonista y narrador de una emotiva historia de iniciación en la que hay lugar para el amor y los giros del destino. Es huérfano y vive con su hermana, una mujer irascible que, aunque presume de haber criado a Pip "a mano", acostumbra a castigarlo con una vara con nombre propio. Su marido, un herrero bondadoso y débil de carácter, es el único aliado con el que cuenta el muchacho. El primer hecho excepcional de la vida de Pip ocurre cuando un preso fugado le pide ayuda en mitad de la noche: necesita víveres, una lima y, por supuesto, discreción absoluta. En caso contrario, el siniestro fugitivo está dispuesto a arrancarle el corazón y el hígado. No es sencillo digerir semejante amenaza y además guardar el secreto, pero en breve algo mantendrá ocupada por completo la mente de Pip: conocerá a la señorita Havisham, una anciana adinerada y excéntrica que requerirá la presencia de Pip como pasatiempo para su protegida, la pequeña Estella. Pese al desprecio que le profesa la arrogante muchacha, Pip queda prendado de ella y se hace a sí mismo la promesa en convertirse en un caballero para ser digno de su amor. La oportunidad llega bajo la apariencia de un benefactor anónimo: alguien está dispuesto a hacerse cargo de sus estudios y respaldar su ascenso social.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was born February 7, 1812 in Landport, Portsmouth, the second of eight children to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Dickens' father had great difficulty managing his affairs and was often under the burden of crushing debt, which culminated in his imprisonment in Marshalsea debtor's prison in 1824. As a result, Dickens was forced to leave school and begin work at a boot-blacking factory to assist in getting the family out of debt, an experience that would allow Dickens to sympathize with the plight of the poor and destitute that would last his entire life. Dickens took to writing immediately and, in 1833, he published his first story: A Dinner at Popular Walk in Monthly Magazine. The following year, he began writing under the pseudonym Boz and released a collection of short stories entitled Sketches by Boz in 1836. That same year he married Catherine Hogarth, daughter of the editor of the Evening Chronicle. They had 10 children before they separated in 1858. From 1836 to 1837, Dickens serialized what would become the novel The Pickwick Papers, which was an immediate sensation and became one of his most popular works, released in book form in 1837. Encouraged by this success, Dickens began writing at a furious and astonishing rate, producing (in serial form) some of his most favorite novels: Oliver Twist (1837-39), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-39), as well as The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge (1840-41). After that, Dickens barely paused for the rest of his career. He would regularly release a book ever year or so for the next two decades, including American Notes, his five Christmas Books (including, of course, A Christmas Carol), David Copperfield, Bleak House, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. Charles Dickens suffered a stroke on June 9, 1870 at died at Gad's Hill. Buried in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey.

    Lo he empezado hace apenas unos minutos y la verdad es que no me gusta nada el audiolibro, quiero aclarar que no me refiero al contenido del texto si no a la calidad de la grabación. La persona que lee no hace los enfasis adecuados para indicar cuando inician o acaban algunas oraciones, en ocasiones se salta las comas o hace pausas cuando no debería haberlas. En ocasiones es dificil distinguir cuando se trata de un diálogo o parte de la narración, entre otras o cosas que sinceramente, dificultan entender las cosas en la primera escucha. Todo esto, además, complicado por el hecho de que habla muy rápido.. Le pongo 2 estrellas y depende de que tanto me guste el libro o pueda acostumbrarme al audio le podré poner mejor calificacion. Recomiendo escuchar a 0.8x
