Free Kindle Benedict Cumberbatch Reads Ian Kelly's Casanova ebooks Download
Benedict Cumberbatch reads Ian Kelly’s biography of one of the most beguiling and controversial individuals of any age. In this fascinating biography of the notorious libertine, Ian Kelly draws on documents by Casanova and his friends, and his lovers (male and female) in order to bring fresh insights to the man’s life and world. The sights and smells of 18th Century Europe are brought keenly to life, as are the colorful incidents of Casanova’s life. As the young cleric he embarked upon a scandalous affair with a married woman, fleeing eventually to Constantinople. He created a stir at the French court of King Louis XV, began intrigues in London that led him to a soaking in the Thames, and sought to meet Catherine the Great at a ball in St Petersburg. His own memoirs ensured his lasting fame, and changed the way we think and write about ourselves and about sex. Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock; The Imitation Game; Star Trek Into Darkness) is the reader of this abridged edition, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

Cumberbatch's voice is so sonorous. It could melt any listener. The only complaint is that the CD ends abruptly. There should be a part 2 or more. It only tells part of the story. I was left hanging while stuck in traffic in Virginia Beach.
I just finished this audiobook on the famous/infamous Casanova. Benedict Cumberbatch does a terrific reading and his voice is quite nice. I would recommend to those interested in the life of this very famous man. He certainly did not live a dull life!
Benedict Cumberbatch can read to me any day. did I mention any day! yeah.
