Publisher's summary

Der König der Vorleser trifft den Dichterfürsten.

Wenn Deutschlands größter Dichter und Deutschlands bekannteste Stimme zusammenkommen, so ist das ein großer Glücksmoment für den Hörer. Denn wer könnte Goethes Figuren treffender charakterisieren, seine Sprachkunst funkelnder zur Geltung bringen, seine Gedanken souveräner nachvollziehen als der große Goethe-Interpret Gert Westphal? Es scheint, Goethe hat beim Schreiben dieser Worte schon den König der Vorleser vor sich gesehen: "Wenn ihr's nicht fühlt, ihr werdet's nicht erjagen, / Wenn es nicht aus der Seele dringt / Und mit urkräftigem Behagen / Die Herzen aller Hörer zwingt."

Enthält:
  • Goethes Autobiografie "Dichtung und Wahrheit",
  • den Reisebericht "Italienische Reise",
  • den Roman "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers",
  • das Versepos "Reineke Fuchs",
  • die Gedichtsammlung "West-Östlicher Diwan",
  • weitere Gedichte und Balladen sowie Goethes Gespräche mit Eckermann.
In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material.

Table of Contents?

Of course Audible doesn't help you know when the works start or end, so here is my attempt at a Table of Contents.
Kapitel 1 Ballades
Kapitel 22 West-Ostlicher Divan.
Kapitel 44 Reineke Fuchs.
Kapitel 65. Leiden Jungen Werthers.
Kapitel 151 Aus meinem Leben I
Kapitel 289 Aus meinem Leben II
Kapitel 441 Aus meinem Leben III
Kapitel 581 Aus meinem Leben IV
Kapitel 656 Italienische Reise
Kapitel 964 Gesprache mit Goethe.

Great Content, good performance, terrible Product

Herr Westphal, I am sure, is pretty upset about this product as well. His performance it pretty good (at least good enough), but the product itself is so flawed that it is useless. Audible, in their ever so "we're just doing the bare minimum" has omitted to give the gigantic project chapter headings or any kind of other navigational help. I have downloaded the first four parts and they are randomly cut into 200 chapters that aren't properly described. Not even where or when a book like the Werther starts. So you have one and one choice only: let Goethe (Westphal) dabble along for 63 hours, without the chance to pick and choose what to listen to. Very upsetting, I wish I could return this mess.
