THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY

It's difficult to think of a better combination for a fantastic listen than Wilder's 1927 literary classic and the performing talent of Edoardo Ballerini. Wilder's short novel is widely acclaimed but not so widely read anymore. Ballerini brings his exceptional skill for capturing the voices and circumstances of characters from all walks of life. This tale of life and death and questions of divine will versus something else will certainly demands the attention of any listener, thanks to both the award-winning prose (the novel won the Pulitzer Prize) and Ballerini's ability to make it as fresh and relevant today as it was when it was first published.
