Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 16
When pretty but unsophisticated Daisy Miller comes to Rome from her home in Schenectady, New York, the enclave of Europeanized Americans find her brash and daring. In this, one of Henry James's finest novels of manners and morals, he portrays with elegance and wit the clash between the different societies of Europe and America. The Europeans, so steeped in propriety and old world values, are inimical to the vibrant and often careless nature of the young American society. Daisy must not only discover these deep differences, but she must also learn to recognize the dangers of thwarting convention and tradition.

Listen to this story, but be sure to get one of the other versions available from Audible. This one is muffled, as though being spoken through a thick layer of cotton. Even at only two hours in length it is a chore to listen to.

The problem for me with this 18 hour recording (I'm at hour 5, and asking myself whether I can stand to continue) is not the narrator but the low (level 2) sound quality of the recording, which makes what might have been a subtle narration sound blaring and monotonous, with narrative "levels" (is Herzog writing one of his long letters? is he talking to someone? Is he remembering talking to someone? is someone else talking to him? etc) difficult to separate.
I have listened to other Bellow books and been enraptured by them, but this one needs to be remastered so it can be downloaded at quality level 4. As it is it has all of the subtlety of a speech being spoken through loadspeakers at a political rally. Okay, it's not quite that bad, but then again political speeches aren't 18 hours long!
