The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
あらすじ・解説
This is a story from the Classic American Short Stories collection.
Five great American short story writers, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, are represented here. Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike for which they are well known. Twain's humor is to the fore in "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," and O. Henry's sharp observations make his neat tales a joy to listen to. An attractive and accessible collection!
Audible制作部より
Excerpted from the full Classic American Short Stories collection, the 1865 comedic masterpiece that first brought American humorist Mark Twain to the attention of a wide audience (and continues to entertain all ages today) receives a spot-on narration. William Roberts’ gentle baritone shifts easily from the character of the beleaguered Easterner to that of the loquacious Westerner rambling on with his shaggy dog (frog, actually) tale about gambling, record-setting amphibian leaps, human nature, and how a gullet full of quail shot handicaps even the greatest of jumpers.
