Book description
Originally written in Danish, Barbara was the only novel written by the Faroese author Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen (1900-38), yet it quickly achieved international best-seller status and is still one of the best-loved classics of Danish and Faroese literature. On the face of it, Barbara is a straightforward historical romance: it contains a story of passion in an exotic selling with overtones of semi-piracy; there is a powerful erotic element, an outsider who breaks up a marriage, and a built-in inevitability resulting from Barbara’s own psychological make-up. She stands as one of the most complex female characters in modem Scandinavian literature: beautiful, passionate, devoted, amoral and uncomprehending of her own tragedy. Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen portrays her with fascinated devotion.

I'm hooked on this app – it's my escape to different worlds and adventures. I'm blown away by the silky-smooth playback, even for high-quality formats like FLAC. Top-notch performance! The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.

I appreciate the option to listen to samples before committing to a book. This app has rekindled my passion for storytelling in the most convenient way. With this app, I've turned mundane chores into exciting opportunities for intellectual growth. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.
