Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

De: Guillermo del Toro, Cornelia Funke

Narrado por: Thom Rivera

New York Times Best Seller!

Fans of dark fairy tales like The Hazel Wood and The Cruel Prince will relish this atmospheric and absorbing audiobook based on Guillermo del Toro’s critically acclaimed movie.

Oscar winning writer-director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Cornelia Funke have come together to transform del Toro’s hit movie Pan’s Labyrinth into an epic and dark fantasy novel for listeners of all ages, with enchanting short stories that flesh out the folklore of this fascinating world.

This spellbinding tale takes listeners to a sinister, magical, and war-torn world filled with richly drawn characters like trickster fauns, murderous soldiers, child-eating monsters, courageous rebels, and a long-lost princess hoping to be reunited with her family.

A brilliant collaboration between masterful storytellers that’s not to be missed.

“Perfectly unsettling and deeply felt, this reminded me of the best kind of fairytales wherein each chapter is a jewel that, when held up to the light, reframes how we see the world around us.” (Roshani Chokshi, New York Times best-selling author of The Star-Touched Queen and Aru Shah and the End of Time)

“A fearless and moving adaption of the film, and a gorgeously written, emotional, frightening parable about the courage of young women amid the brutality of war.” (Michael Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Gone)

Better then expected

I love how my hubby has never read the book, and only pay half attention to the movie ... yet he kept telling me the book was wrong... Great story ... I believe in magic ... do you?

Loved it

Man I wish I had come across the book before the movie. Not too different from the movie but it would have been wonderful to see such a good story come to life. Either way I enjoyed this throughly.

Lovely and filled with wonderment

I adore this story,the movie and book of the Pans Labyrinth. I love the voice used in this audiobook. You can feel every emotion. Everything is brought to life. Will def be listening to this every so often.

wonderfully captivating listen

I loved this book. I saw the movie first long ago. and it lacks all of the fun, and mythical background that the book provides. the more i read books, the more I understand what gets left on the table by movies.

beautiful and sad

I always loved the movie it is one of my favorite foreign films but to finally listen to the story was the best feeling ever. I am so glad I listened vs read it myself so I can take it in as a true fairy tale being read to me. now I just want to watch the movie all over again. ❤

beautiful allegory, heart-wrenching

A favorite of my best friend, so we read it in book club. I'm excited to discuss. beautifully written and performed. It's definitely heartbreaking, and I recommend looking up trigger warnings as it is heavy and hard at times.

beautiful …
as good as cinematic as the masterpiece movie .
Now want to watch again . sad and beautiful

Great Companion to the Film

I love Guillermo Del Toro and Cornelia Funke. I am happy i got this audiobook. The Spanish accent of the narrator also kept me super in the world, and the book itself provides so much more lore and context than the movie. Book is told beautifully, with vivid description. Really enjoyed it

Faithful to the Movie

The movie made me cry. The book made me cry. Pan's Labyrinth, in which the selfless daughter of a poor tailor, Ofelia, stole my heart and ears as I listened to the mini short stories within the book, the best one being the tale of the child eater (toward the end). It brought all of the prior mini stories together. You don't learn anything new, but you gain more understanding as to how the characters became what they were in the movie (and in the story). I wouldn't let small children read this, but it does speak to the inner child in me that believes in magic even when it's dark throughout the tunnel of reality until just at the very end.

Great narration. Great extension of the movie.

Good narration. I haven't seen the movie in years, but this brought it back and gave the back story I never got with the movie, which helps make it a much more memorable story.
