I completely agree I own the movie and Pride and Prejudice I am so glad a fellow crafter on knittingparadise.com made us aware of this ability I have tried audio books in the past and hated it but love this!
She has read several Jane Austen books that are posted on this channel. I love how she does a different voice for each character and gives the right emotion to every scene.
MY wife is an an invalid and has trouble seeing. These books occupy her time her waking hours. she loves these books. They are narrated so well. Jane Austen is the best.
@@hassan31609 Meanings of words change as well. For example, in Pride & Prejudice 'condescend' is seen as a positive thing. Mr Collins is always talking about Lady Catherine's condescension, about how she gives favour to people not of her rank. (Talks to them, invites them to dinner, etc.) Today 'condescend' has negative connotations.
@@lovewalsall I think it had a negative connotation then as well. However, class separation was accepted then as it is not today, so condescension between classes was real. Nowadays, a person who is condescending is not only condescending but assuming superiority, so two "sins". At that time, it would only have been one, since her superiority of class was well acknowledged. However, Jane Austen's portrayal of her character shows that superiority of class does not equal superiority of character.
My daughter has dyslexia. These audiobooks are a blessing as they help to open up all these new wonderful world's in a far more enjoyable manner then she's ever known before. My thanks to you for supplying this beautiful classic for her imaginative consumption.
@Kimberly Stevens. Perhaps she may be encouraged to persist in learning to read as a result.!I taught young people remedially for a while. I'm convinced that if pleasure is associated with reading and writing it helps . K
Like many others, I found Karen Savage’s narration of P&P first, then moved on to Sense & Sensibility. Somewhere along the way I discovered her CV - when I realized she was from Texas I damn near fell off my chair. This woman deserves some kind of Award for her talents. She has a Masters degree in I.S., speaks French and Spanish fluently, and absolutely NAILED the accent on her Libra Vox Audiobooks, not to mention creating individual voices for all the characters. Thank you, Karen Savage, for sharing your talents with all of us, in bringing Jane Austen’s incomparable works to life. Bravo.
She is definitely one if the best librivox readers. I have to listen to her at 0.75 speed though. And I wish she pronounced Marianne's name properly. It's Marry-anne Not Mary-anne Perhaps it is because she is American that she doesn't realise. Her British accent is excellent though. Books like these have to be read in a British accent! Some other librivox readers are unlistenable to. Karen Savage needs to read everything! 😁😎
@@plugshirt1762 Mary is always pronounced mare-ree and Mary Anne is a different name from Marianne. In "Marianne", the first syllable is sounded more "ma" with the "a" as in "apple" rather than "mare" as in muh" as with Marie/Maria.
I love audiobooks, my friend is blind and it was comforting to hear this audiobook with her as well, we spent a whole day together listening to this!! thanks. n.b She couldnt find this book via braile so it was great to have someone else smile.
@@hassan31609 It has changed somewhat but it is still perfectly understandable to modern (well-educated) english speakers, as opposed to Shakespeare or yet earlier Chaucer. It mainly just sounds more formal and more long-winded than would be normal today.
Bless Kate Winslet for portraying Marianne is such a sympathetic manner. Because this entire audiobook I was wishing for Elinor to smack some sense into her 😬 (P.S. this is my first attempt at listening to a book, and I picked a great one! Thank you!)
Yes! Someone needed to shake or smack Marianne! And didn't the actress that played Lucy do an incredible job at portraying the sly, simpering, manipulating young miss that Austen presented? Karen does a great job capturing all the different characters with just her voice!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Jane does not show the likeable qualities of Marianne. Good job, Emma Thompson on the adaptation, and Kate on portrayal.
Yes! It's been quite a while since I've read or listened to this book. And as I'm listening to it now, I'm realizing (remembering?) how much I can't stand Marianne. 😆 Way to go Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet indeed!
I'm not sure why she needs to be sympathetic or likeable at all. She is a young woman with too much romantical, dramatic, high ideas. She's meant to be more than a bit annoying.
@@AllTheArtsy that's true, but in my opinion it would not be as easy to watch the film if such a central character was just completely obnoxious and unlikable throughout. Portraying her less so makes it easier to enjoy the movie.
I know I am not the only one that this reader could read me a phone book and I'd love it. Thank you, Ms. Savage for taking the time and doing such a wonderful job. I am seeking you out for all that you do.
I had never used an audio book before. This is my first. I am so glad I chose this book to begin with. The beautiful voice of the narrator, Karen Savage, brings the story alive. Everything is great except for one thing. The links (start time) to specific chapters aren't correct. They are not bookmarked properly. You might want to readjust it. Overall, it was a great experience. Thanks!
She also reads Pride and Prejudice, which you can also find here on youtube. I have always and only listened to her reading my favourite book, so I am very glad to find that she also read sense and sensibility, which is one that I equally enjoy!
I have never been into audiobooks before. Now that I work from home most of the week it helps to hear a voice while I sit alone in my room, working. And KAREN SAVAGE is amazing. I’m here after Pride and Prejudice.
Imagine being a young child & having Karen Savage as a mother, aunt, older sister, babysitter, ANYONE.. reading story books to you. What an inspiration to want to learn to read!
Love Karen Savage! I cannot read Jane Austen's books , it's just too tedious. But I can listen to these all day . She also narrates a little princess too. Love it!
Such a lovely voice! I searched through many audiobooks of S & S before finding this one, after having listened to Karen Savage's reading of Pride & Prejudice a week earlier, and reallying enjoying her reading - the way she separates the charactes with different voices, sometimes accents etc. I hope I'll be able to find more classics read by her!
Karen Savage read the Anne of Green Gables books which I LOVE and I was so pleased to find that she read this one too 🤩 listening to her is like listening to a friend ❤
A wonderful story--and reader. I must say that Emma Thompson's screenplay (1995 Academy Award) was brilliant and greatly improved on Jane Austen in several, memorable scenes. Do see this movie if you haven't already! This gifted lady also plays the role of Elinor.
@@hassan31609 This style of speaking isn't used any more, but the basic vocabulary is similar. If you talked like this to an English speaker, they would think you were weird but they would still understand what you meant.
Ms. Savage, please ignore the foolish thumbs down and bask in the ovewhelming favorable response to your wonderful reading of this novel. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you Karen Savage! The combination of your voice, your British accent and Jane Austen is so comforting. Been listening to this over and over for weeks. :) Hugs, Maytal.
I looking for something to keep my mind engaged while I did mind numbing work and I thought I'd try audiobooks. This was a good choice for my first endeavor.
I am 61 and my kids know what 4 films I love and books I love to hear that we call my comfort....that if my kids suggest to watch or listen to ...... I know they are going to ask me something or going to tell me something... This is one if them... its my comfort zone.. and it is read so well... so very well.
Seriously, I would be happy if Karen was reading the phone book or dictionary. Anything that needs reading, she's the one for the job. ❤️ This is wonderful!
That first sentence is a gem! Full of alliteration and refracted light as read by Miss Savage. Amazingly beautiful English/ none of the harshness of its Germanic origin. Elegance on the page. A firm fan of the Brontes, finally I have found my particular Austen! Who says money never buys happiness? Stuff and nonsense, only someone who has never feared the specter of being ground to nothing by the rich and selfish - Austen must have had “ an excellent heart” to convey what the second sex must do to find and hold happiness without a trace of bitterness. I am giddy with excitement that this author speaks even to me, the daughter of a working class woman of both sense and sensibility at best rising to petit bourgeois but born not in mid 19th century Sussex - England but mid century in the Midwest - America. Literature elevates or levels all.
Thank you Karen Savage! I love the way she narrates this story and brings it to life! In order to soak in and slow down the story I put the playback setting to .75 speed.
Austen's style is underdeveloped here compared with her later works, but her understanding of character is unparalleled. When Willoughby complains about Brandon's extravagance and wealth early on, we don't yet understand his bitterness and fear concerning his own prospects, nor how it will guide his actions towards Marianne.
@Susan Vail I really enjoyed it, but can't help feeling that Edward really didn't deserve Elinor in the end. I would have preferred seeing her end up with Brandon.
It took me about an hour to realize you were doing the voices. Like you are so good at it I hardly noticed it was even happening. You are an exquisite storyteller. 💜
My mother recently just bought me all the novels of jane austen, but I'll have to wait for Christmas. I have such little patience and so I decided to listen a bit early.
I like to follow along with the book. Jane Austen is not as easy to read as some people think. I honestly consider this serious literature. Of course I read the book on my own, but it is so much fun this way too.
The first time i ever read a jane Austin Novel as a kid---- it sounded JUST LIKE this lady in my head!!! 🤣❤👍🏻 seriously perfect voice for any of Jane Austins Novels!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Karen is great at reading this book I really like her voice and pronunciation. I have already read pride and prejudice so I am not going to listen to it even though I'd love to hear it from her. But I hope to find more from her later on. I'd surely love to listen to her again
at 1:55 there's a sentence missing, "His wife had something considerable at present, and something still more to expect hereafter from her mother, her only surviving parent, who had much to give."
That production is not a patch on the BBC version done a few years ago with Dan Stevens (Downton fame). So so much better! With Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield who were much nearer to the age of the characters in the book. Emma Thompson was nearer the age of the mother!!
So many scenes and characters in the book aren't in the movie, or scenes from the book modified in some way for the movie that some detail missing, that people being graded on the book shouldn't rely on the movie alone.
@@patriciawilson338 I prefer an adaptation from book to film to differ Ang Lee and Emma Thompson’s film was an absolute masterpiece Elinor is meant to be nearing spinsterhood late 20s in the film. The BBC cast are nowhere near the caliber of 1995 S&S
Still prefer the BBC version on any day of the week. Closer to the book and characters more like the book. Never was a fan of the Emma Thompson version.
Dear Lady, thank you very much for Your sharing: Your reading is absolutely appealing and engaging, making "my" Austen even more interesting!... Greetings from Italy 💗
This Karen savage person has the most perfect voice for reading jane Austen books. And she does it beautifully. I cannot find a flaw.
The reader is perfect

Yes, Karen Savage is a great reader! I'm so grateful to her for doing this!
Anybody else came here after listening to Pride and Prejudice... and then realized it was read by Karen Savage and was super excited about it! 🙋🏻
My first Karen Savage was Mansfield Park, I have listened to it at least 20 times
Yes Ma'am.
YAAAASSSSSSSSS! 😊
Meeee
I'm immediately going there after finishing this!
I wish Karen Savage knew how much the listeners enjoyed her reading.... she has a delightful voice!!!

I like to follow along with the book. Jane Austen is not as easy to read as some people think. I honestly consider this serious literature. Of course I read the book on my own, but it is so much fun this way too.
I’ve never tried that but I will and will see how it goes!
I have had to read a lot of old english written books to get to understand her writings. After that, she is my favorite.
The narrator is so good. I am really enjoying this book. Thank you for the up load.

When I have a migraine attack as I did today it is comforting t o have these audio books :)
The first time i ever read a jane Austin Novel as a kid---- it sounded JUST LIKE this lady in my head!!! 🤣❤👍🏻 seriously perfect voice for any of Jane Austins Novels!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Karen Savage is the one that read the Anne of Green Gables series. I love you! Thank you so so much, you've helped me improve my English
Not me scrolling by this thumbnail at 2am thinking this old Jane Austen book cover had a woman wearing a covid mask on it
😂
I hope Karen Savage does Emma and Northanger Abbey in the near future
Karen is great at reading this book I really like her voice and pronunciation. I have already read pride and prejudice so I am not going to listen to it even though I'd love to hear it from her. But I hope to find more from her later on. I'd surely love to listen to her again
Such a great reading of my favorite of Jane Austen's books! Thank you!
l love your reading style. love the way you change voices between characters. love it. you are awesome
at 1:55 there's a sentence missing, "His wife had something considerable at present, and something still more to expect hereafter from her mother, her only surviving parent, who had much to give."

Hate audiobooks in general, but this narrator is brilliant.
As English is not my first language, Karen makes it more pleasant and interesting for me❤

I can seriously only listen to audiobooks read by this chick I just finished pride and prejudice! Can't wait to finish this one
I do like the book but the Emma Thompson movie script is so stunning and memorable. I’m glad she won the Oscar for it.
That production is not a patch on the BBC version done a few years ago with Dan Stevens (Downton fame). So so much better! With Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield who were much nearer to the age of the characters in the book. Emma Thompson was nearer the age of the mother!!
So many scenes and characters in the book aren't in the movie, or scenes from the book modified in some way for the movie that some detail missing, that people being graded on the book shouldn't rely on the movie alone.
@@patriciawilson338 I prefer an adaptation from book to film to differ Ang Lee and Emma Thompson’s film was an absolute masterpiece Elinor is meant to be nearing spinsterhood late 20s in the film. The BBC cast are nowhere near the caliber of 1995 S&S
Still prefer the BBC version on any day of the week. Closer to the book and characters more like the book. Never was a fan of the Emma Thompson version.
Good job reading! So many audio books are too slow, but this is a good pace to be able to understand and stay engaged :)
Thank you Karen Savage!!
Perfection in writing AND in narration! Thank you for sharing!
A very nice reading by Ms. Savage!

This was my first ever Jane Austen novel. Listening to it just takes me back home
9.20 Willoughby: "Have I earned a little of you compassion."
I'd be like: Fuck, no.
9.30 Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I did think that section made him look worse. I wonder why Miss Austen wrote it that way. 🤔
Perfect reading by Karen Savage of this delightful book. Many thanks.
Adore Karen Savage reading. Her voice is superb
