Scenes of Clerical Life by George Eliot – A free audiobook

 

Narrated by Bruce Pirie
 

This free audiobook consists of three novellas that were written by George Elliot which is a pen name for acclaimed writer Mary Anne Evans. The stories all revolve around the lives of three clergymen. However, their stories do not focus on their theology but rather looks into their humanity and morality. Eliot has already abandoned standard religious belief and so her book will focus more on the clergymen as a person rather than their teachings.

This free audiobook is a groundbreaking achievement in narrative as we get the first glimpse of the narrative voice, humanism and realism that has elevated Eliot into the upper echelons of the most talented writers in history.

This free audiobook is narrated by Bruce Pirie and is an interesting character case study.
