The Watsons (FULL Audio Book)
by Jane Austen (1775 -- 1817)
This fragment of a novel was written by Jane Austen in 1804 and remained untitled and unpublished until her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh printed it in his A Memoir of Jane Austen in 1871. The title is from him.
Mr Watson is a widowed clergyman with two sons and four daughters. The youngest daughter, Emma, has been brought up by a wealthy aunt and is consequently better educated and more refined than her sisters. But when her aunt contracts a foolish second marriage, Emma is obliged to return to her father's house. There she is chagrined by the crude and reckless husband-hunting of two of her twenty-something sisters.
(Summary from Gesine and Wikipedia)
Isn't it crazy that these 200 yr old books are still so relevant today??
I can't imagine having such an amazing writing gift and wo derful insight.
I recommend all high-schoolers, and older, read every one.
What a shame it is for this book to end here!! I am bitten, smitten, and want more!!
“A woman never looks so good as on horseback” - I love these turns of phrase. ❤️❤️❤️

As we " splash along the dirty lane" of life; Librivox smooths the bumps and rocks! Easing the discontents of strife...
Miss Osborne: "Charles, you have got a better partner than me."
Charles: "Yes."
Me: "Yes you unfeeling, lying, selfish witch!"
🤭🤭🤭😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😄
Even at Charle’s young age, ? 11-14 years, perhaps… (as young boys and men were then allowed more freedoms than were young women!) had the perfect honest quick reply to the witch, than had he been older, he might have chosen to filter! Some things, indeed, never change! These types still abound in every generation, and, sadly, shall continue to …
Oh Jane, how we wished you’d have lived on to finish this! And all the other wonderful books you would have written! 🌹
Yes wow
I agree with my whole heart. Very thankful for what she has accomplished.

I love this reader. Beautiful
Thank goodness that the author shared her ideas as to the conclusion of the plot so that her readers (or listeners, in this case) are not left in internal suspense!
Loved this book, wish it was completed.
Wow - an actual good narrator! Does this reader have any more ? 🙏🏼❤️
Nice to find another reading, as well as my own. Love Jane Austen
Thank you for skillful reading
The Watson's? How'd I not know about this?
It was begun and abandoned by Austen in 1804. As she both reworked previously written works and wrote new ones after this it was obviously a story she did not feel was interesting enough to tell.
. Thank you, I enjoyed listening to this book which I have previously read. So well read that I enjoyed it as much as if I'd never read it myself.
very enjoyable reading
Greatly narrated…Just the correct speed to relax to of an evening 😊
Thanks for a beautiful narration.
Emma's aunt and uncle did a wonderful job of raising her.
Never heard of this book.
Thank you Librivox You Rox!!
Thank you......
Surprising difference of opinions on the reader. But it is very important to find one that you're happy with. I really like her voice.
Wonderful reading by Gavina.
Her voice is so soothing… I literally use it as a sleep aid when trying to fall asleep.
Well read. Thank you!
A great narrator for a great work.🦋🌺
I love the narrator
Anyone else watching in 2018?

@@judehansensss woah
R.i.p Jane Austen lots of love to her
Uiii vdw
An appropriate accent for the material. Rare for Librivox! TY to the reader, (whose name I dont dare try to spell) for volunteering.
I agree! I might find a book written by a southerner, and I might volunteer. If I could handle the criticism! Lol
Nooooooooooo...... why didn't she finish it?!!!!!!! It's only aroused our appetite without bedding it back down!
She died before she could
@@ernestinefoster4217 means?
@@deeksharajput126 means that the book was never finished so we'll never get the end? LOL
Gopher, Everett?😂
I wish Karen Savage would read this.
After listening to Karen Savage galloping through Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion, this narrator is a very welcome change.
@@janicebillington2633 I actually slow the speed down in the TH-cam settings if Karen Savage is reading. It's like she thinks it's a race.
That's just rude
I like this narrator because her pacing varies and gives more nuance to the story
thumbs up

Wow

“ … only a surgeon!”. Really??
At 19th century, it was a dangerous job because there was so little hygiene information and anatomic information. So many patient died at that time, and surgeons got sick because of lack of hygiene.
Of course if they were at this century, they wanna take him to their daughter as soon as possible. 😂

Her voice is insufferable. My 3rd attempt to listen to her.
terrible mess made of the reading of a wonderful English novel
Appreciate the effort, but dull. No inflexion of tone, but not as bad as Alice Savage. I think that's the name anyway. Apologies to her horde of admirers!
The reading is always directed by a director I don't know if that is true to this production. The reader is like an actor to be directed as the 'frount man'
Karen Savage is a great reader!🥰
I agree.
I don't like the narrator, she sounds kind of bored.
Ha lol
I agree. It makes me be bored aswell. Pity
Do Librivox actually have their narrators audition?
Terrible to listen to, which is the general way with Librivox
What a waste of time
Because the speech impediment, mainly pronouncing R as W, completely makes the narrators speech difficult to understand
Also very, very boring tone
You tried
So respect for that
Dull....depressingi is the word i would use. You can see that its jane Austens work, but there was no joy or character in the reading. Must try it again with a different narrator, hope it puts a smile on my face.
All Librivox recordings are a real drag.
The repetition of all the whole details at every chapter!!!!!!!!!
javamann1000 Seriously? Of all the things you have to be thankful for with Librivox's thousands of free audiobooks, you have to whine about their announcement at the beginning that the recording is from Librivox.org, the narrator's name, and the fact that all of their recordings are in the public domain - information that typically lasts less than 30 seconds! Are you fucking kidding me? GTFO! You are too much if a selfish piece of shit if you can't handle such a simple announcement, especially since it gives the reader an opportunity to give his or her name so as to get credit for their FREE/PRO BONO performance! You are so typical of the effete, spoiled, stupid, pussified milleneals of today. Just GTFO. What a total dickhead you are.
Javamann. I agree , its not the narrators fault , just the organisation. Its reasonable to do it once , not every chapter. Its weird. One recording i gave up on because it was so irritating.K
Voice is awful
This is crap. Never would have guessed it's Jane Austen, although it does have the upcoming social function that is endlessly blabbed about--obligatory in a Jane Austen novel.
Nice to find another reading, as well as my own. Love Jane Austen
Couldn't find yours but would like to. I subbed yr channel tho. From Adelaide down under! 👇💜🙃
