Acerca de esta escucha
"Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature.... A book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains.” (The Paris Review)
A special 50th anniversary edition of the magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday, with a new preface read by the author
A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world - modern, industrial America - pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust.
An American classic, House Made of Dawn is at once a tragic tale about the disabling effects of war and cultural separation, and a hopeful story of a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.

It is the poetic, dreamlike tale of Tayo, a mixed-blood Laguna Pueblo and veteran of World War II. Tormented by shell shock and haunted by memories of his cousin who died in the war, Tayo struggles on his impoverished reservation. After turning to alcohol to ease his pain, he strives for a better understanding of who he is.

A modern classic in the African literary canon and voted in the Top Ten Africa’s 100 Best Books of the 20th Century, this novel brings to the politics of decolonization theory the energy of women’s rights. An extraordinarily well-crafted work, this book is a work of vision. Through its deft negotiation of race, class, gender, and cultural change, it dramatizes the "nervousness" of the "postcolonial" conditions that bedevil us still.

Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in understanding childhood development. Analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for one's life.

An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man's perpetual search for an inner kingdom.

Historia
Change or die: the only options available on the Durallium Company-owned planet GP. The planet's deadly virus had killed most of the original colonists - and changed the rest irrevocably. Centuries after the colony had lost touch with the rest of humanity, the Company returned to exploit GP, and its forces found themselves fighting for their lives. Afraid of spreading the virus, the Company had left its remaining employees in place, afraid and isolated from the natives.

The Images and Descriptions of Space and Land Were Fine
But the plot was, in my view, only so-so in its development. And the characterizations of the people in the story were also only so-so.
So, one must decide what’s important.
I realize the desire to honor emerging Native American literature. And, in some ways, this excelled. But, frankly, I wouldn’t call it Pulitzer Prize-worthy.
In any event, there are strengths that merit a listen.

A Non-Linear Plot Buried Beneath A Thick Layer of Poetry
This is a beautifully written, poetic story. The plot is non-linear. I enjoyed it—but the narrative never got its claws in me. I never got fully engrossed.
I feel like this is a book that would take a reader like me several readings to fully appreciate and understand.
There are several Audible reviews that criticize the narrator. I would like to add that those criticisms are bunk. The narrator is fantastic.

Novel great, reader not so much.
House Made of Dawn is gorgeous, lush, and a bit of a challenge if you are listening to it without the text in hand. I finally stopped listening altogether (returned the audio book) and finished reading it in hard copy. The narrator is a good reader, but altogether unsuited to this work. He reads fast through every part, whether he’s reading the words of a guilty priest’s journal or a sermon by the Priest of the Sun which is, in my view, the centerpiece of the novel and a passionate paen to language and the power of the word. These passages demand that the speed and rhythm of the written words be respected in the spoken. The descriptions of landscape which are so integral to the novel need to be delivered at a speed that permits the listener to create them in her mind. Also, the text follows several characters, often all in the same chapter, and the switch from one character to a different person is indicated by extra spaces. A narrator needs to pause and it indicate with his voice that there is a change. A skilled narrator anticipates the reader’s “blindness” and creates cues. The Caedmon version of the novel opens with an introduction by the author. His voice is deep and sure and measured. He reads his prose as poetry. When I bought the audiobook, the author was listed as narrator together with Mr.Dennis. Prospective buyers should be aware that only the introduction is read by the author — the novel is Mr.Dennis. I would love to hear an audio version of this book in Mr. Momaday’s voice. This version just does not meet the performance level that the book demands.
