If you listen to the actor who plays Blackthorne in the new series, he copies this gentleman's voice, not pointing out to be rude, I think he's spot on doing it, brilliant work. Good audiobook readers are basically theater actors.
There's 4 parts to this, total running time of about 5 hours 15 minutes. Audible offers Shogun in 2 parts, total running time of 53 hours 34 minutes. I think this was an abridged version, truncated to fit on a few cassette tapes, probably in the 80's when talking books became popular, mainly for car stereos. All hail the narrator, David Case, 1932 - 2005. NOT Rupert Farley and _certainly not_ Charles Hawtrey - a suggestion surely made under the influence of very powerful drugs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Frederick_Case
Just watched episode 1. The best 1st episode to a TV show that I've watched in years. Absolutely fantastic! Going to re-watch it immediately after posting this comment. It's a show that _MUST_ be watched. An instant classic! I didn't call it the 'pilot' episode because John Blackthorne was a pilot - technically meaning all 10 episodes are 'pilot' episodes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Adams_(pilot)
I'm old enough to remember the 1980s version with Richard Chamblain & loved it, at the time. I rewatched some of it this week... Parts of it were laughable 😂
@@debchelsea Yeah. The 1980 version hasn't aged well. It's supposed to be Japan, 1600, but feels very Starsky & Hutch. TV was miles below the movies, up to HBO kickstarting the Golden age of TV, late 90's. Movie stars rarely deigned to appear in TV drama, unless they were on the downward slope and/or desperate. Alec Guinness starring in Tinker, Tailor, 1979, was one of the few exceptions, that I can think of.
Thank you so much. You have a marvelous voice. I hope you are doing well & benefit from the hard work of uploading this book. The audiobook has at least 25 chapters. Today's audiobooks background music & props can be so distracting. I really enjoy this. A clean read & a soft masculine voice is so relaxing.
This is different & much better than the FX TV Show.. Why do they think they must add violence for people to watch it on tv? It's why we are such a violent country. All forms of media effect all of us.

Love the audiobook and narration, other than some tetchy japanese pronounciation like 'wakarimasu ka?' You dont pronounce the su like 'masu' its just pronounced like 'wakarimass ka', the 'u' is silent
Very well read by the same reader of the Sharpe series. Not sure if this will be an abridged version, but the novel is actually quite long. Shogun is a fascinating action/ romance depiction of 1600s Japan through the narration of European ignorance and egocentrism.
I find the term 'arrogant' to be an issue - as if to condemn. The main issue was culture shock. Notice that the Japanese viewed anyone other than themselves as "barbarian". That's how cultures tended to be towards those who weren't very close to themselves - and even ones which were, sometimes.
@@banedon8087this is correct , the book is meant to show the Japanese and Europeans as ignorant and arrogant . The developing relationship between mariko and anjin is meant to show how with a little effort people from completely worlds can come together as one and understand each other.
@@grandmapatty unfortunately, audible doesn’t have the rights to this recording, and because they have monopolized the industry, it is impossible to find. It’s Frederick Davison. He also narrated the Richard Sharpe books by Barnard Cornwall, and the Horatio Hornblower books. The rights were held by Books on Tape, and filled my childhood with countless hours of adventure. I listened to those cassettes until they stopped working, and the librarians gave them to me when cassettes went out of fashion.
Best reader!!!
is this AI?
Are there gonna be more?
Would really appreciate it if you could upload the rest. David Case is the best narrator Ive ever heard
I have them can send them to you
This took us up to the end of what chapter?
Just his pure narration is off-putting with the gay-tinged UpperU voice
His character voices and accnts are great, though.
The gay-tinged Upper-U narration is a bit odd, doncha think?
It's a [faux] West Country dialect, historically associated with seafarers since Drake, Hawkins and Raleigh were all from Devon.

Yes. Please
About the narrator . I heard recently : " The brothers Caramazov" and i think is the same voice. The name of him is Frederick Davidson...
Aww we really need more of this, its excellent@@
What an odd reading.
Why do all these audiobooks have the same nasally old English voices. It's really not tolerable
It's better than a yankie twang, I heard an American reading Jane Austen, it was horrendous!

Same 😂😂
The 1980 series is better. Slower, yes. But more true to the original. However. I do enjoy watching the new version for the cultural input.

Maybe if we all share this on social media & he gets enough hits, he will finish. 😎
I have all the files I sjould upload em

The narrator is the acclaimed David Case. Unfortunately you can’t find a copy easily..

Excellent. Thank you.

Fantastic narration. Thank you for posting.
Top 10 books in my list. I loved it enough to read it a few times. Great job, wish you had completed the novel, but it is huge.
Who is this wonderful narrator please?
It’s AI
@@Zatherothx its not😅😅
Did you go to Lawrence Sheriff School@@rhyswilliams4893
Same voice on a couple of the Sharpe books , not a fan
Hey Graffiti Marshmellow, do you have the rest? Would love to hear more!
Absolutely
Love the audiobook and narration, other than some tetchy japanese pronounciation like 'wakarimasu ka?' You dont pronounce the su like 'masu' its just pronounced like 'wakarimass ka', the 'u' is silent
わかりました
分かりました😈@@mistysabrinalee120
A new miniseries is going to be on HULU in America and FX on cable Feb 2024.
Yes I can’t wait😊
It's only 10 episodes and isn't returning 😭
is Charles Hawtrey reading this
The Carry On films actor who made Kenneth Williams look [and sound] masculine? The narrator sounds nothing like Hawtrey.
Read Shogun many years ago and more than once, this is excellently narrated.
Narrator is driving me insane for some reason.. sounds like stewie griffin taking a constipated shit
: )
👏🇮🇲
This is the original version and the best 😊
Incredible story! Would be happy to listen to the continuatiion.

Thank you very much.
There is no more :( ?

That is an apt description, but I find the arrogant Eurocentrism adds to the time period and makes the main character feel more realistic.

Hi John, do you know the name of the narrator? Or the edition? I’d like to find this audiobook for myself. Thanks!
@@lednimedved8 It's read by David Case
Seriously wtf wheres part 1 ? Kinda backwards ting u dealing wid
It's here now
Be grateful for what you have and don't complain with entitled arrogance. I rebuke you in Jesus name.
@@CalebTheConservative his name was not jesus it was Yeshua so i rebuke you and your false teaching lol
Thank you for posting this version. I have been looking for this narrator for years
Who is the narrator?? I want to get the entire book on audio with this narrator

The guy is amazing, the actor playing Blackthorne also copies him in the new series about the book (Rightly so!)@@grandmapatty
