Reseñas editoriales
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be an academic to appreciate and even thoroughly enjoy Edmund Spenser's classic 16th-century epic poem The Faerie Queene, an allegorical work written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I, and detailing in precise and enchanting Spenserian stanzas the adventures a party of knights encounters while undertaking a quest for the titular "Faerie Queene".
Actor John Moffatt's deep, mellifluous voice accentuates the rich poetry of this enduring work, and he navigates very surely the rhythms of this famed epic. His pronunciation and pacing are nigh flawless, but even more, the energy he brings to this performance makes it easy to lean back and lose yourself in a fantastical realm of monsters, and adventure.
Resumen del Editor
This remarkable poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was Spenser's finest achievement: the first epic poem in modern English. The Faerie Queene combines dramatic narratives of chivalrous adventure with exquisite and picturesque episodes of pageantry. At the same time, Spenser is expounding a deeply-felt allegory of the eternal struggle between Truth and Error.

Historia
Samson Agonistes, the 'dramatic poem' by John Milton, was published in 1671, three years before the poet's death. Written in the form of a Greek tragedy, with the Chorus commenting on the action, it follows the biblical story of the blind Samson as he wreaks his revenge on the Philistines who have imprisoned him. A powerful subject, with a personal resonance for the blind Milton, it is a perfect work for the medium of audiobook where poetry and drama can be balanced equally.

Historia
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is a poem, translated by Bayard Taylor, which tells the beautiful and emotional story of a man who has seen and done it all. However, despite all of his learning and education, his life still feels empty and unaccomplished. He believes wholeheartedly that there is something else out there. Faust, having exhausted all other fields of study, turns to magic for fulfillment. He summons the devil and makes a pact - that if the devil can show him something rewarding and fulfilling, he will give the devil his soul.

Historia
Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

Historia
Sophocles was born at Colonus, near Athens in about 496 BC and is considered to be one of the premier playwrights of Greek tragedy. His stories may have been filled with strife, but Sophocles himself was prosperous and came from a good family. It is said that he was handsome, wealthy, and a highly respected citizen of Athens. During his life, he wrote over 120 plays and was instrumental in how plays would eventually be performed, including the addition of stage props.

The Arthurian legend of Camelot has been told many times, but never better than by Alfred Tennyson. Employing some of the most stirring and beautiful blank verse ever written, Tennyson crafted his version of the Knights of the Round Table over the course of nearly fifty years, completing it in 1885. Despite the length of time, Tennyson managed to maintain a high level of style and continuity throughout.

The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

King Lear is perhaps the most poignant character in literature. The aged, abused monarch is at once the consummate figure of authority and the classic example of the fall from majesty. He is widely agreed to be William Shakespeare's most moving, tragic hero. Award-winning writer and beloved professor Harold Bloom writes about Lear with wisdom, joy, exuberance, and compassion. He also explores his own personal relationship to the character.

This is an extremely interesting story, the narration is wonderful, and I am glad that I downloaded it. There are, however, some serious problems with this recording! Read the earlier reviewer for details.

Fine performance, haphazard selection
Where does The Faerie Queene rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It took me a while to warm up to Moffat's reading, which at first struck me as a bit stodgy, but after 20 minutes or so I found it very capable indeed, certainly in the top 20% of audiobook performances I've heard. Given the limitations of the original 3-CD set, however, I thought a better selection from the vast riches of "The Faerie Queene" could have been made.
What did you like best about this story?
While the poem is better known for gripping atmosphere than gripping action, Moffat certainly brings the action to life when the occasion arises.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Epic fantasy from Shakespeare's time.
Any additional comments?
Now that audiobooks are no longer purchased chiefly as LPs or CDs but rather as downloads, it is surely time for an unabridged audio edition of "The Faerie Queene," professionally narrated and produced.

Missing and repeated portions
Following on the other reviews, the reading is excellent and the introductory summaries of the cantos are useful. However, my copy seems to repeat some sections of canto 3. At 4 hours I knew this reading couldn't include the whole work, but that a significant section of what's here is the same thing twice is not a pleasant surprise.

Great Performance Nonetheless
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Recommended by a literature professor-friend, this abridged edition of The Faerie Queene was the first Audible book I purchased and the reason I joined Audible.com. I was aware the story had been significantly truncated. As other reviewers noted, however, even the chosen sections were chopped, so it was hard to follow with a printed text. Still, for anyone who has four hours to spare and has never appreciated Spenser's classic, this is a great introduction for one compelling reason: the narration.
John Moffatt's read is lucid, well-paced and empathetic, the best one could hope for in rendering a historically distant story for a modern audience. Of course, I "studied" FQ in high school. then promptly flushed it from my consciousness. It was C.S. Lewis whose appreciation of and influence from Spenser sparked the desire to know this personally unappreciated work. So, even this abridged edition served to illuminate not only its author's original work, but also Milton's Paradise Lost, Lewis's stories and a whole bunch of English literature in-between.

Fragmentary
The description of this Audiobook should have mentioned that this recording only covers the FIRST of the six books of the Faerie Queene. Specifically: It only contains the story of the Redcrosse Knight. (Yes, in hindsight, I now see hints of trouble: i.e., the running time of the recording and the reference in the description to an allegory of truth and error.) Nevertheless, because it was billed as the FAERIE QUEENE (and not just one-sixth of it), I ordered the darned thing. To make matters worse, I burned it to CD, and for some reason Audible's conversion program skips not just words but whole stanzas so that I now have a bunch of fragments of one book of the FAERIE QUEENE, rather than the whole thing. I have fragments of a fragment. Joy, joy. Case in point: The CD I ended up with contains, nowhere in it, the most famous line of the poem -- the first one ("A gentle knight was pricking on the plain..."). It reads off the first three words of that line and then jumps down seven lines; the two parts don't connect at all. Several stanzas latter, there's another skip. Then another. All the way through the entire book. All four of the CDs I ran off in my attempts to make this work do the same thing, and no CDs I burn through other programs do this, so I'm pretty sure this one's Audible's responsibility. I will be trying to get a refund, but am not optimistic. This buyer didn't beware; you should.
