關於本有聲書

Silence: A Fable delves into a haunting narrative set in a desolate region on the borders of the river Zaire in Libya. Through the eyes of a mysterious narrator, the story unfolds in a world where silence is an illusion and the tumult of nature reigns supreme.

The tale begins with the Demon’s ominous words, describing a realm where the river’s sickly, saffron-colored waters pulse with a ceaseless, convulsive motion. The surrounding landscape is a bleak desert of enormous water-lilies that murmur among themselves in the absence of any real tranquility. Tall, primeval trees and a dark, agitated forest contribute to the relentless cacophony of the scene, even as the heavens themselves seem to be in perpetual turmoil.

As night falls, a chilling rain that turns to blood drenches the morass, and a crimson moon casts an eerie light on a towering gray rock. Here, the Demon reveals the word "DESOLATION" etched into the rock, foreshadowing the profound silence that will soon ensue. A solitary man, draped in a toga reminiscent of ancient Rome, sits upon the rock, his face etched with sorrow and a longing for solitude. As the night progresses, the man is engulfed in a tempest of fury, but his curse of silence transforms the tumultuous landscape into an eerie stillness. The word "SILENCE" replaces "DESOLATION" on the rock, and the man, terror-stricken, flees into the void.

In this fable, Edgar Allan Poe explores the depths of human despair and the paradox of silence within a world dominated by ceaseless noise. The Demon’s tale, recounted in a shadowy tomb, emerges as one of the most extraordinary narratives from the volumes of the Magi, reflecting the profound themes of existence and isolation.

Prepare to be captivated by Poe’s masterful storytelling and the chilling atmosphere of Silence: A Fable.
