Critic Reviews: "Aldrig har John Steinbeck digtet mere forelsket om den californiske natur. Aldrig har han ladet en elskeligere bande opst end Mack og hans drenge, der selvflgelig rykker ind i et tomt hus uden at betale husleje. Aldrig har han skabt en klogere mand end doktoren, som bliver deres nabo og lever af at samle frer og spindsvin til laboratorier. Og aldrig er det lykkedes Steinbeck at skildre en harmoni som den, der hersker her mellem videnskab og vagabondering ...Med denne roman har John Steinbeck filosoferet, og det har han gjort p s lyrisk og lattermild en mde, at enhver m overgive sig." (Tom Kristensen, Politiken) "Det er en henrykkende historie, et ildhjul af humor, vittighed og hjertelig menneskeforstelse." (Jacob Paludan, Nationaltidende)

Title: P rejse med Charley [Travelling with Charley] Author: John Steinbeck Narrator: Dan Schlosser Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-16 Publisher: Viatone Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: P rejse med Charley er en rejsebeskrivelse af en rundrejse i USA i 1960, som Steinbeck foretog i en autocamper sammen med sin puddelhund Charley. Steinbeck skrev, at han var drevet af et nske om at genopdage sit hjemland, eftersom han tjente til livets ophold ved at skrive om det. Han flte sig ude af berring med det moderne USA efter i tyve r at have boet i New York og rejst rundt i Europa, og han nskede bl.a. at finde ud af, hvordan den moderne amerikaner var. I sin autocamper Rosinante (opkaldt efter Don Quixotes hest) tilbagelagde den da 58-rige Steinbeck og Charley knap 16,000 km sammen langs USA's ydre grnser. Bogen er en charmerende beskrivelse af de steder og mennesker, som Steinbeck stder p undervejs samt de refleksioner, de giver anledning til - og som ofte kommer til udtryk som mentale samtaler med Charley. Please note: This audiobook is in Danish. Critic Reviews: "Efter 25 r som bermt forfatter flte John Steinbeck, at han ikke lngere kendte sit eget land. Hans beretning om genopdagelsen blev et lille mirakel af en bog med titlen P rejse med Charley ...Det er snart 50 r siden, men noget af det forunderlige ved bogen er, at den fles, som var det i gr, rejsen fandt sted ...Det er en bog, der gr én glad. Vi har en tilbjelighed til at se USA med Hollywoods jne, det hysteriske, det skabagtige, det drivende sentimentale, det overtydelige, det primitivt overfladiske. Nr vi ser det med Steinbecks, genfdes det i al sin rigdom." - Klaes Kastholm Hansen, Berlingske 2008, ***** "I en trekvart tons varevogn, ombygget til beboelse, og med sin sorte franske puddel Charley, som eneste ledsager, gennemkrte Steinbeck Amerika fra nord til syd og fra st til vest, og hvad han s, og hvad han tnkte derved, har han nedfldet i en overmde fortryllende rejsebog, som br blive denne sommers regnvejrslsning i alle caravans, sommerhuse og telte." - Marie-Louise Paludan, Sjllands Tidende 1963 "Ls Dem til glde i denne bog. Ikke det banale: ls Dem glad, men ls Dem til glde, en tilstand af glde, hvori man har det velbehagelig rart: en glde, som skaber et liftligt velvre, omtrent som en lun sommeraften ved solnedgangstid, nr en er cirklet af rreder, der slr, og fluen falder dunlet p vandet; eller som nr piben er velstoppet og trkker, som den skal, medens tankerne fr lov til at g, og ingen rgrelser plager." - Vagn Riisager, Kristeligt Dagblad 1963
