Book description
The Green Child: A Masterpiece of Mystical Prose
Herbert Read's sole novel stands as a testament to what happens when a poet-turned-novelist channels his artistic vision into fiction. This 1935 gem deserves every bit of acclaim it has garnered over the decades.
The story unfolds across three distinct landscapes-rural England, the vast South American pampas, and an enigmatic underground realm-each transition feeling both natural and otherworldly. Read's background as an art historian and philosopher permeates every page, yet never feels heavy-handed or academic.
What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is how Read balances mystical elements with genuine emotional resonance. The New York Times correctly identified it as "a triumph of delicate and suggestive mystification." This isn't fantasy for escapism's sake, but rather a philosophical journey that maintains narrative drive.
Kenneth Rexroth's description of the book's "unearthly, hypnotic radiance" proves especially apt in audio format, where Read's lyrical prose takes on almost musical qualities. The narrator's voice becomes crucial in conveying those moments of "other-worldly suspense" that Graham Greene noted.
T.S. Eliot's praise for Read's prose style feels justified throughout. Each sentence carries weight while never becoming ponderous. The author's anarchist philosophy, influenced by figures like William Morris, subtly informs the utopian elements without overwhelming the story.
This audiobook succeeds because it trusts listeners to engage with complex ideas while delivering genuine emotional impact. Read creates what Greene called "the private sense of glory" that Christian mystics sought to capture.
For readers who appreciate literary fiction that challenges while enchanting, The Green Child delivers on every front. It's no wonder this single novel could secure Read's literary reputation.
