Voyage of the Dawn Treader audiobook

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. My absolute favorite quote in the entire book.In the latest installment, Lucy, Edmund and their cousin (Eustace) were having a bit of a tiff when they were suddenly pulled into a ship painting. (Apparently, you can get to Narnia just about any which way.)They land on Prince King Caspian's ship, where we meet almost an entirely new cast of characters setting sail to find the seven lost lords of Narnia. “Do you mean to say," asked Caspian, "that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you've never told me! It's really too bad for you. Because we have fairy-tales in which there are round worlds and I have always loved them … Have you ever been to the parts where people walk about upside-down?" Along the way, they have oodles and oodles of adventures - anywhere from exploring mysteriously magical islands to Eustace accidentally turning into a dragon. Adventures are never fun while you're having them. I love how we (as always) get to experience C. S. Lewis's sage wisdom through his little asides throughout the book. One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts. The only true gripe I have about this series is Reepicheep. It could just be the way the mouse-warrior was portrayed in the audiobook, but I swear I was about one step away from throwing him overboard.Audiobook CommentsI will murder Reepicheep with my bare hands if he says one more word. Other than that - David Jacobi was a fabulous reader!YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia, #3), C.S. Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a high fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1952. The Voyage features a second return to the Narnia world, about three years later in Narnia and one year later in England, by Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, the younger two of the four English children featured in the first two books. Prince Caspian is now King Caspian X. He leads a sea voyage to the eastern end of the world, which the English siblings and their cousin Eustace Scrubb magically join soon after his ship Dawn Treader sets sail.تاریخ نخستین خوانش: سال2002میلادیعنوان: ماجراهای نارنیا کتاب سه: کشتی سپیده پیما؛ نویسنده: کلاویو استیپلز لوئیس؛ مترجم امید اقتداری زاده سال1330هجری خورشیدی؛ چاپ سوم سال1387؛ در232ص؛ شابک9789647100069؛ موضوع داستانهای نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده20منقل از متن: (فکر میکنم، بیشتر ماها هر کدام سرزمینی ویژه، و پنهان برای خود داریم، سرزمین تخیل و رویا، اما به نظر حقیقی هم هست؛ هر گاه خواسته باشیم، میتوانیم سری به سرزمین رویاهای خود نیز بزنیم؛ در این لحظه هاست که میگوئیم، آخی)؛ پایانتاریخ بهنگام رسانی 01/02/1401هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

One of my fave Narnia books when I was a child, the crew of the Dawn Treader are joined by Ed, Lucy and Eustace as they seek out the Seven expelled Lords who sailed East seven years earlier. Eustace is a great character, in that he behaves as a few most certainly would, with utter disbelief, shock, and also borderline horror at the 'backward' Narnian reality, as well as forever questioning and assigning his own ideas of the motives and aims of his fellow crew.The trip sailing East, allows C.S. Lewis to really expand on the Narnia reality and show us what else is out there, which he does with aplomb. It's C.S. Lewis goes wild with a mesh of dark fairy tale style adventures from dragons and one-legged bouncing dwarves to clouds of darkness and mesmerising mer-people. It's Lewis's creativity and gift for storytelling that should dwarf (pun intended?) any and all Christian symbolism in the series. Another gem!

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.This started rather poignantly for me, as the story opens with two of the Pevensie siblings returning to Narnia, with their cousin Eustace in tow. Without the elder Pevensie children I initially felt like some of the earlier allure was lost for me, as it acted as a reminder that we all reach an age where we grow up and magic refuses to become a possibility. I quickly forgot my reservations and was once again swept away by the wonderment and awe this series inspires, however.The children find themselves thrown from this world into the ocean that borders the Narnian lands. The nearby ship, the Dawn Voyager, quickly hoists them on board and the children are happily reunited with characters from the previous book, King Caspian and Reepicheep the talking (and quarrelsome) mouse. The crew are venturing into the perilous unknown seas with the ambition of discovering more about their world and ending their journey by hopefully venturing into Aslan's country.I adored getting to explore more of this fantastical world. It added an element of adventure and highlighted Lewis' spectacular world-building artistry. This seemed to read almost like a series of connected short stories, as each island they landed on had a tale relating to it that ended as the crew disembarked.As with every other story in this series, there was a moralistic edge to the plot that served as a reminder of good behaviour for its young readership. This rather preachy element is one that doesn't fit well with its contemporary readers, in my opinion, and, whilst not ruining my enjoyment of the series, isn't a factor a particularly appreciate.

My BFF thinks this book is boring ... but I disagree. I really love it. All of the little islands they visit hold an amazing story. I just can't believe the movie wrecked this beautiful adventure so!~Kellyn Roth, Reveries Reviews

Time for a Christmassy reread :)Review later

This book was and one of my favorites in the series and it contains one of my favorite fantasy scenes in the entire world of fantasy.Seriously, that scene was one I loved to reenact at every beach and pool. As recent as 2018. I am not ashamed to admit it. It's so much fun. Of all the trips into Narnia, it's definitely the best.Anywho, about the rest of the book. I loved the introduction of Eustace and although his character arc was a bit contrived, I still enjoyed it. As for the biblical allegory, I'm really not sure. I did a lot of googling (okay, not that much) and people think it's multiple stories. I thought maybe it could be Noah's arc but I honestly have no clue.➵ The Magician's Nephew - ★★★★★➵ The Lion, The WItch, and the Wardrobe - ★★★★☆➵ The Horse and His Boy - ★★★★☆➵ Prince Caspian - ★★★☆☆➵ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - ★★★★☆➵ The Silver Chair - ★★★★☆➵ The Last Battle - ★★★★★| Goodreads | Blog | Pinterest | LinkedIn | YouTube | Instagram

I liked the humor with the Mouse Reepicheep, especially when he defended himself while being swung in the air by his tail. I enjoyed the quick wit of King Caspian, how he had a response to Eustace when he told about his big ship back home. The English is a bit harder to read in some chapters of this story. I haven't read many classics for this reason and don't get me started with Shakespeare because I don't understand the written language in it at all.
This book started with Eustace Clarence, Lucy's cousin. This summer, Lucy's family got split up. Susan and her parents traveled to America, Peter stayed at the Professor's home, while Edmund and Lucy were to stay with their cousin Eustace's family. One day at their aunt's house, they found a way back to Narnia, aboard a ship and bringing along Eustace. At first encounter, Lucy and Edmund were reunited with King Caspian. This time, one year in England was only 3 years in Narnia, unlike in book 2, it seemed like thousands of years went by. In this book, Caspian took an adventure by sea to look for his late father's missing Lords. This story was again narrated by the author.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was well written and an enjoyable read! Eustace seemed like a horrible boy but it's funny to read his diary entries and his lost adventures. I'm not too fond of the sea and especially when there's bad weather. I do; however, enjoyed every time when they discovered new land. The mystery with the dragon was good and I haven't read one like it. I also liked the Island of the Voices. It's fun, imaginative, and a little creepy when Lucy had to go upstairs. Overall, this book was a good read and I do recommend everyone to read it.xoxo, Jasmine at www.howusefulitis.wordpress.com for more details

Read this aloud to my kids. It was always one of my favorites of the Narnia books, I was always fascinated by the dreamlike quality of the ending and the different islands they visit. The one thing about Lewis is that you'll be going along, reading about a pool of water that turns everything to gold, or an island full of one-legged dwarfs who got accidentally turned invisible, and you're like, what fun fantasy this is! And then suddenly there's a Lamb offering the children grilled fish that was the most delicious thing they have ever eaten, then turning into a Lion, and you're like, if this is totally heavy Christian allegory, then what about the rest of it? Who are the Dufflepuds, in Christian symbolism? And then your brain cries a little. And yes, the bit with Eustace and the dragon is also clearly allegory, but it can still be enjoyed as pure fantasy if you want. Love that part. Love Eustace's horribleness.

Such a rich fantasy adventure full of unforgettable episodes - a boy-dragon, a Midas pool, invisible enemies, little Sea people, a fearless mouse, an enchanted table, the island where dreams come true and more. And above all Aslan. Truly a pleasure to read to my young children.The most unforgettable scene in this (and so worth remembering) is when Lucy magically overhears her friend gossiping about her and how that irrevocably changes their relationship - a thought-provoking reminder of the effects of gossip.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about C.S. Lewis' fantastical world?

I love the whole Narnia series, but this was my favorite. Lovely, sad, and whimsical. C. S. Lewis at his finest.***wondering why all my reviews are five stars? Because I'm only reviewing my favorite books -- not every book I read. Consider a novel's presence on my Goodreads bookshelf as a hearty endorsement. I can't believe I just said "hearty." It sounds like a stew.****

I had kind of forgotten how easy it is to get lost in this series. I cracked open this book and before I knew it it was already over and I was longing for more. These books make me want to devour them all in one sitting but I’m trying to take it slow this time around. It’s torture in a way but it’s also great because I get to travel back to my childhood in between other reads! That being said, this is one of my favourites out of the series and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again!

One of the best. From entering Narnia through a painting to Eustace Scrubb deserving his name, to the Island where dreams come true and Reepicheep the brave (and annoying) mouse, this simple book is chockful of itself being the 'right kind of book' and then some.

This is probably my favorite so far out of the series!! :D I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH!! lol All the adventures they went on, and Eustace’s gradual character development were just so good…it took me a little longer to get through this than I would have liked because of how busy I’ve been, but it was so worth it and I’m glad I finally got the chance to read it! The ending though gave me chills…sort of in a good way I guess haha I almost started tearing up, but I was outside surrounded by people at the time so I was trying to keep my emotions in xD (view spoiler)[I want more books with the Pevensies! I am kinda sad they won't be in the Silver Chair or the Horse and His Boy :/ (hide spoiler)](view spoiler)[Okay, so at the end of this book Aslan said that Lucy and Edmund wouldn't come back to Narnia..I was so sad at first, but I'm pretty sure I heard they would come back in the last book?? I'm confused lol but it's ok...I guess I'll just find out after I read them XD (hide spoiler)](Sorry if the gifs annoy you guys, but I always enjoy seeing them on people's reviews or looking back on my own :P lol)Oh and if you are still reading this far lol xD my favorite quote from the book was this:"It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?""But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan."Are -are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund."I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."C.S.
