Prince Caspian Audiobook Summary

The unabridged digital audio edition of Prince Caspian, book four in the classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, narrated by Academy Award-nominated actor Lynn Redgrave.

The Pevensie siblings travel back to Narnia to help a prince denied his rightful throne as he gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Prince Caspian is the fourth book in C. S. Lewis’s classic fantasy series, which has been captivating readers of all ages with magical lands where animals talk and trees walk for over sixty years.

Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy are back!Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy are on their way back to school in the normal world when they are suddenly pulled back into the world of Narnia. But things aren't as they were when they left Narnia! And why are the children back in Narnia? Prince Caspian is my second favorite Narnia book so far just behind The Magician's Nephew. This book had all of the magic and excitement. Lewis dived right into the action in the very first chapter. No 200 page warm up here. There was one section of the book which I thought a bit unbelievable. It was when the children wanted to cross the stream and magically a boat came into view at that very moment. At first, this was quite off-putting to me because it wasn't realistic. However, when considering all things, I was quite happy to let it go. The book is 223 pages, and it was better to have a little bit of unbelievable than to spend 50 pages just trying to find a boat. Personally, I would prefer some action than dragging a story along just to be believable. Overall, this was an action packed short book that gives the reader some food for thought.2023 Reading ScheduleJan Alice in WonderlandFeb Notes from a Small IslandMar Cloud AtlasApr On the RoadMay The Color PurpleJun Bleak HouseJul Bridget Jones’s DiaryAug Anna KareninaSep The Secret HistoryOct Brave New WorldNov A Confederacy of DuncesDec The Count of Monte CristoConnect With Me!Blog Twitter BookTube Facebook Insta

Prince Caspian: the return to Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia, #2), C.S. LewisPrince Caspian (originally published as Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia) is a high fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1951. It was the second published of seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956), and Lewis had finished writing it in 1949, before the first book was out. Prince Caspian features "return to Narnia" by the four children of the first novel, about a year later in England but 1300 years later in Narnia. It is the only book of The Chronicles with men dominating Narnia. The talking animals and mythical beings are oppressed, and some may be endangered. The English siblings are legendary Kings and Queens of Narnia and are magically recalled once again as children by the refugee Prince Caspian.تاریخ نخستین خوانش: سال2002میلادیعنوان: ماجراهای نارنیا - کتاب دوم: شاهزاده کاسپین؛ نویسنده: کلاویو استیپلز لوئیس (از سال1898میلادی تا سال1963میلادی) مترجم: امید اقتداری؛ منوچهر کریم زاده؛ تهران، سال1379؛ در208ص؛ شابک9647100043؛ چاپ سوم سال1384؛ هفت جلد در1368صفحه؛ موضوع داستانهای خیال انگیز برای نوجوانان از نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده 20ممترجم: پیمان اسماعیلیان خامنه؛ تهران، قدیانی، سال1386؛ در284ص؛ شابک9644178521؛ مترجم: مهناز داوودی؛ تهران، پنجره، سال1387؛ در200ص؛ شابک9789648890877؛این کتاب دومین قسمت از سری هفتگانه ی «ماجراهای نارینا»، اثر «سی.اس لوییس» است؛ در این داستان، قهرمانان اصلی و ثابت آن، که چهار نوجوان به نام‌های «پیتر»، «سوزان»، «ادموند» و «لوسی» هستند، در ایستگاه قطار، منتظر رسیدن قطار هستند، اما ناگهان به سویی کشیده می‌شوند، و در پی آن، خود را در سرزمین «نارینا» می‌بینند؛ آن‌ها وارد جنگلی می‌شوند، و سپس به ویرانه قصری می‌رسند؛ قصری که پیش از این در آن فرمانروایی کرده بودند (شرح این ماجرا در کتاب نخست آمده است)؛ در قصر مخروبه، وسایلی را که «شیر»، در سفر پیشین به آنها داده بود را پیدا می‌کنند؛ سپس با کوتوله‌ ای آشنا می‌شوند؛ که از شاهزاده‌ ای گرفتار، به نام «کاسپین» سخن می‌گوید؛ بچه‌ ها به این ترتیب وارد ماجرایی پرحادثه می‌شوند، تا «کاسپین» را نجات دهند؛ آنها در پی ماجراهایی عموی «کاسپین» را، شکست می‌دهند، و شاهزاده «کاسپین» را بر تخت پادشاهی می‌نشانند، و پس از آن به دنیای واقعی باز می‌گردند نقل از متن: (خرسهای شکم گنده، خیلی مشتاق بودند که، اول ضیافت برگزار شود، و گردهمایی بماند برای بعد؛ شاید برای فردا)؛ ص79؛ سطر 17کتابتاریخ بهنگام رسانی 18/10/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ 18/08/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

You doubt your value. Don't run from who you are. The Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) spent the last year daydreaming about Narnia. Despite the horrors of the White Witch, but they constantly think about returning to Narnia for they are only truly themselves when they are with Aslan. Feeling like the voice she liked best in all the world was calling her name. And when they suddenly find themselves thrust back into Narnia, they discover one very, very important thing: Things never happen the same way twice. The siblings soon realize that time moves far differently in Narnia than it does in the real world. A thousand years have passed and everyone they once knew have long since passed. It's up to them to put the one, true prince on Narnia's throne and right the world that has gone so far astray.I did appreciate how C. S. Lewis wrote his female characters with a bit of spunk and sass in them: “That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never can carry a map in their heads.""That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy. Though, I did notice that the gals never got to do any sword-fighting and did spend a lot of time being protected by their brothers. Ah well. It was a sign of the times.And while I really enjoyed catching up with Lucy and co., I was hugely disappointed to learn about the time-jump. I just couldn't believe that C. S. Lewis wrote off the Beaver family and Mr. Tumnus so quickly. We still have Aslan but I missed the side-characters I fell in love with.YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_readsAudiobook CommentsRead by Lynn Redgrave and it was rather well done.

The classic sequel to The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe, sees the four children find themselves away from home again, in a place that looks suspiciously familiar! Includes the debuts of classic characters like Reepicheep, Trufflehunter and Prince Caspian himself. Timeless and truly wonderful storytelling.The pacing of this sequel is superb and the reveals are just as startling for the cast as they are for the reader. A joy to read :) 8 out of 12..

The Pevensies are pulled and tugged by invisible forces from a train station platform to another reality again, this time they find a world of overgrown lands with acres and acres of nature gone wild; they also find the ancient ruins of a palace... and the longer they are marooned in this strange land, the more familiar it gets!Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter are back on a magical adventure, but where are they? And what does their appearance have to do with the runaway Prince Caspian in Narnia? Another wonderful high fantasy tale written in the more innocent age of the 1950s and classically drawn by Pauline Baynes - I can't imagine reading these books with illustrations by anyone else! C.S. Lewis' second offering and sequel to his first The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, is just as spellbinding but with more mysteries and multiple sub-plots. As ever, with this series that I know that I adore it so much because I first read it as a child, and I remember my first read of this book being such a thrill with the early big plot-twist that a first-time child reader may not see coming! 8 out of 12.

i hate endings more than anything in the world.i know that's not a hot take, but the sheer extent to which i will self-destruct / break down entirely / rain hellfire upon this earth to avoid them might be a little unique. i will undo breakups, perpetuate terrible friendships, and, worst of all, refuse to watch the final episode of TV shows. i will do anything and everything i can think of.and that's why i only read the first two books in this series, in spite of owning (very cute!) copies of all of them.i read that it was the two eldest kids' last time in narnia, and, as both an eldest and an avoidant, i said GOODBYE FOREVER hid the series away and moved on with my life in an attempt to avoid ever thinking about how peter and susan must feel.look. i even remember their names. that's how traumatic this was for me.good book, though.this is part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago, revealing my psyche bit by frightening bit

I'm mad at myself because I wanted to read the first of the Narnia series before reading this one for class, but I didn't quite make it.I loved this story because I love Lucy and Aslan and Caspian, but there were a lot of side characters who I didn't care much about and the villain in this book wasn't so interesting. Nevertheless, a muuuuch easier read than Lord of the Rings!!

This book was an excellent read! I just loved how the story pulled me in. It helped that the characters were well liked and their adventures were exciting. I like Prince Caspian and his curiosities. The stories about the animals were fantastic. It boggled my mind that the time difference between Narnia and real life was so vast! It's also interesting that different people came and took over in the centuries that passed.
The story continued where The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe left off. It's a year later and they are at the train station heading back to boarding school. When one moment they felt something pulled them and the next they found themselves in the woods and on an island. They went swimming for awhile and then they explored looking for fresh water to drink. As they explored, they found an apple orchard and an old broken down castle. Peter solved the mystery of the castle and it surprised them all. Somewhere in Narnia a Prince needed help and it explained why the children were brought back to Narnia. The author again narrated the story.
Prince Caspian was well written and a fast paced read! I enjoyed the siblings' relationship. It's also clear there were different personalities in this story. I like the ending because there was mentioned of a portal. I love portals to a parallel universe! That's too bad the siblings didn't stay as long this time as they did their first trip to Narnia. It's cool that their memory was still intact of all their adventures. I enjoyed the humor in this book. I recommend this classic to everyone.xoxo, Jasmine at www.howusefulitis.wordpress.com for more details

Evening reading time with the kids continued with Prince Caspian. Last year we read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and then we watched both the old cartoon and the recent live action version. The kids frequently asked for the next one, so it was time. Now, I know there is some debate as to the order of the books in The Chronicles of Narnia, but we choose to go with these two first as it seemed like the most cohesive storyline to keep the kid’s attention. We all enjoyed family time together with this book, which was a reread for me. We had to break the chapters up because they were kind of long to hold the attention of a 6 and 8-year-old. Also, the language is a bit complex at times and I found myself getting all turned around while reading it out loud. Several times we had to stop and go back over a section to make sure we all understood what just happened (not just the kids!) Also, Lewis loves his run on, comma-delineated sentences!This is a great series for some classic fantasy. It is especially nice if you don’t want to commit to some of the larger classic fantasy tomes. And, while they don’t stick exactly to the plot, a few of the Chronicles have movies to watch afterwards – which is always a bonus for the kids! However, the Prince Caspian movie is over two and a half hours long, so we had to take it in chunks.Next stop – The Voyage of the Dawn Treader!

One year has passed since Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy went to Narnia through an old Wardrobe and met the bad white witch and the righteous lion. Now they are sitting on a seat at a railway station with trunks and playboxes piled up round them on their way to school. But Narnia needs them back. More precisely PRINCE CASPIAN, the true king of Narnia needs them back. And the children are ready for a new adventure in the land that thousand - years ago they used to be Kings and Queens themselves. Because time passes at different speeds in Narnia.And now the landscape has changed and the men are ruling the fairytale land. The talking animals and the mythical creatures are hiding trying to survive. Everyone remembers Narnia's golden age and everyone is hoping that a just King will appear and will bring prosperity and safety again to the rightful population of Narnia.There two stories in this book that mingle: The story of the prince Caspian and how he claims this throne and the story of the four children’s return to Narnia. It may look confusing when you read it, but everything will make sense after a certain point in the book. Then begin a new paragraph….. Sometimes The Chronicles of Narnia remind me the Neverending Story.

Ahhh!! I just love these books so much!! ^_^ They make you feel like you are watching a movie in your head while you are reading every word! (If that makes any sense lol) I love the little bits of humor that C.S. Lewis through in every once and a while like this quote, “That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never can carry a map in their heads.""That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.” I don't know why I love that quote so much, but I do :p I definitely recommend this series and of course, the movies are amazing as well! :) I really hope that they make a movie for the Silver Chair soon! Now onto the Voyage of the Dawn Treader next! :D

This is my fourth journey into the fantastical lands of Narnia, as I have chosen to read the series in chronological rather than publication order.From the very first line I knew I was sure to love this book as it details the return of the Pevensie children from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the most famous and my most beloved Narnia tale. Only one year later in the human world, and centuries later in Narnian time, the children return to find their beloved castle an ivy-clad ruin and the land they knew and loved altered beyond all recognition. Another form of evil has taken control of the lands and the children must once again work with the magical Narnian beasts to free it from the tyrant's control.Whilst I adored the actual story, some elements of it did make me wince a little. Referring to some little girls as 'plump' and mentioning their 'fat legs' seemed like an unnecessary addition to the text but I also need to remember that these books weren't penned in this century, where such writing is unacceptable.This entire series touches me on such a deep emotional level, despite the simplicity of the tales. It is such a wonderful feeling to read something that ends with such purity and goodness. I think this is the magic of reading stories aimed at children: in the adult genre this suspended belief would not be tolerated and the 'happily ever afters' would not be believed. We often look for more complex conclusions, but it is so refreshing to read something where good is sure to conquer evil and be content that all that is wrong will be rightfully restored.

November 19, 2008. I've read these books a zillion and one times and surely I shall read them a zillion more. Because every single time, I realize new truths and find more honor in their pages. Today, I've read a passage that I find disturbing and quite out of character for CS Lewis: p.72 "Shall we go farther up for you, up to the crags? There's an Ogre or two and a Hag that we could introduce you to, up there." "Certainly not," said Caspian. "I should think not, indeed," said Trufflehunter. "We want none of that sort on our side."Seems a bit racist, if you ask me. It really makes me wonder exactly what CS Lewis is getting at here. It's totally the opposite of what happens in The Last Battle when Aslan sorts the good guys from the bad guys by whether they're good oir evil in their hearts. So anyway, it seems weird and I don't like it. The Hag does ends up being a bad guy in the end, but still... I dunno. I'll keep reading and blame the racism on the 1950s for now. Oh yeah, as a side note, whenever I read British literature, I talk to myself in a British accent and rhythm for a while afterward. It's so dorky!!!Later...I've read a bit more now. The race issue didn't come up again. The battle scenes are not the same as you might see these days. There's something more frank and quick about them. Lewis doesn't explain every little move and maneuver, so in fact, if you're reading too fast, you might even miss a fight going on. Here's an example of a battle overview without much in the way of specifics:P. 187But the new bout went well. Peter now seemed to be able to make some use of his shield, and he certainly made good use of his feet. He was almost playing Tig with Miraz now, keeping out of range shifting his ground, making the enemy work.I think if this book had been written today by a different author, it might be about 500 pages of battle scenes. I'm glad its not. Instead, the book is more about people standing on the side of good. Here's a passage that I just love which describes Edmund who may be a boy, but is also a king:P.174An hour later two great lords in the army of Miraz, the Lord Glozelle and the Lord Sopespian, strolling along their lines and picking their teeth after breakfast, looked up and saw coming down to them from the wood the Centaur and Giant Wembleweather, whom they had seen before in battle, and between them a figure they could not recognise. Nor indeed would the other boys at Edmund's school have recognised him if they could have seen him at that moment. For Aslan had breathed on him at their meeting and a kind of greatness hung about him. Ahhhhh... See? For Narnia and the North!Also, you Tolkien fans will recognize the onslaught of trees which comes in at the end of the battle--Two Towers--and the river emerging (with the help of Bacchus and his grapevines) to take out the bridge and thwart the enemy in its path--Fellowship. Who came up with it first, I wonder... :)Later still...As I finish reading this lovely little novel, allow me to drop off to sleep with feet towards the fire and good friends on either side... Thank you, Mr. Lewis. I have had a time.

The second book in The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian does not disappoint. The story has a slow start and isn't as gripping as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but I was just glad to read a new Pevensie siblings adventure. A number of new characters were introduced, each having incredibly peculiar names that I loved but find hard to recollect now. Half the story focussed on Prince Caspian and how Narnia transformed from being a land of free, talking, magical creatures to a land of stubborn men who refused to believe in the existence of said creatures, while the other half dealt with Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy's quest to lend help to Prince Caspian. Some plot points did annoy me a bit—one of them being that the boys were sent to make battle plans and do the important stuff while the girls pranced around with Aslan. Given how old this book is and the fact that apart from this, Lewis has never hinted at the girls in the story being any less capable than the boys, I chose to not let this affect how I rated this book. And now, on to the next one!
