無料で聴く

In this captivating narrative, George Borrow—a self-taught English linguist, wanderer, and former bible salesman—blends autobiography, fantasy, and anti-Catholic critique to create a unique literary experience. Join Borrow as he traverses the picturesque landscapes of England, Scotland, and Ireland, chronicling his evolution from a curious young boy to a searching young man in the early nineteenth century. His passion for languages and aspirations as a writer and translator intertwine with his adventures as an itinerant tinker, all while he grapples with moments of deep existential dread. The characters Borrow refers to as scholar and priest play a subtle role in his journey, while the enigmatic Mr. Petulengro, a gypsy friend, makes only occasional appearances. The term Lavengro, meaning word master in the gypsy language, encapsulates Borrows literary prowess. Renowned Australian author Gerald Murnane has called Borrow his favorite prose stylist, highlighting the enduring impact of this remarkable storyteller.
