The Distance of the Moon by Italo Calvino
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
This fantastical parable takes place long ago, when the moon was much closer to the earth than it is today. When the tide was high enough, people would row out to sea with ladders, so they could climb up onto the moon to gather moon milk. In those days, the forces of nature were very strong, and in this story, a love triangle springs up, just as they are realizing that the moon is drifting furt...

How does this not have a comment Thank you so much for posting this.
Kinda unrelated, but can you put a link to the music at the end? Wonderful reading, by the way!
Beautifully narrated. I dont think i could have read it that way in my head. Thank you!
thank you so much for this i had to read this for class and i hate READING!
Get the weapon and you 've got the man 😂😂
Does anyone know where the guitar music is from?
Yes! It's called New Orleans Chills, and it's by Style Da Kid. I got it from StoryBlocks, but here's a link to his UA-cam channel: www.youtube.com/@StyledaKidTV Thank you for asking!
@@arealhumanvoice - Thanks for your help 👍
@@arealhumanvoice - I couldn't find the song on the link you sent me.
@@alexdavies7394 yeah, you're right, it's not on his UA-cam channel. Here is the link to the song itself, but it's licensed. You should be able to listen, but you might not want to pay the subscription for the download. www.storyblocks.com/audio/search/new%20orleans%20chills?search-origin=type_ahead You might also see if you can find it on Apple Music or Spotify; I don't use either one, but I hope you can find it!
@@arealhumanvoice - Thanks again.
Thank you! i really did not want to read all of that for homework 💀
Reincarnation is real and it doesn't work this way. You are unique soul with your own personality and specific lifetimes that are individuating for your own values. Do NOT take the popular shortcut to spirituality by saying I'm everyone and everyone is me. You will open yourself to a chaos of psychic influences and get really messed up. Even if you don't believe in reincarnation you can see it's just BAD BOUNDARIES.
Great I love ur voice and video!
The ending gave me chills! The voice and music go so well with the story!
Best writing ✍️ I ever read
Thanks for putting this up. I wanted to hear Andy Weir's short story "The Egg". It's an interesting philosophical concept. Honestly it would mesh nicely with both Pantheism and the theory that the human brain is not a biological computer, but instead a transducer connected to something greater. I have to say though... I may enjoy the Juggalo interpretation of the theory (based on this short story) that mrseanbarret did over on tiktok more (mainly for the personal amusement factor)
Loved it!
An amazing reading of one of my very favorite stories. Really well done. Thank you!
What a beautiful and poignant story!
It is indeed! I am glad you enjoyed it!
A captivating story well read with gorgeous images!👏
Thank you so much for listening!
This was amazingly read!
You are very kind, thank you!
Awesome
Thank you!
This is a great story- good job narrating :)
I agree, it is a touching story. Thank you for your compliment!
I’m Agnostic but keep an open mind about what I observe. Since I now believe that time is not linear, perhaps I have lived all of those lives in the future and my current iteration just perhaps is my last one. I do currently feel a sense of completeness and wonder what will happen next.
Great story, anything that makes us kinder to those around us makes the world a better place.
Thanks this was a great listen 👍
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!
He was a wonderfully descriptive writer
Every word is so perfectly placed! Thank you for listening!
Beautifully read.
You are very kind, thank you!
Welldone. Beautifully read. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thank you so much for doing this, it helped me a lot, because I can't read without someone reading the book bc I can be distracted so easily, thank you smch!
If it has helped you, that makes my day! Thank you!
You had me from first to last. Thanks Elmore.
He knows how to do it, that's for sure. Thanks for listening!
Excellent. Very moving. Thank you
Thank you for saying so!
Been listening to your readings since you posted Omelas, and I have to say, you have such a pleasant reading melody (melody? Not sure what to call it exactly). So glad you’re still reading!
Thank you for listening, and for your kind words!
Sobering as hell… We’ll done though.
That's a good way to put it. Thank you!
Good story, like to hear more. Most appreciated real human voice.
Literally, one of my favorite narrators giving his voice to this, but the stories are outdated junk, and not even a golden voice can remedy such weak and shallow writing. 🤔
Thank you for your kind compliment! It can definitely be a challenge finding good stories, although I happen to like Chandler's writing a lot. Apparently this was his least favorite story, anyway. I would very much welcome any suggestions for future material, if there's something you'd like to hear me try. No guarantees I can do it; some stories work for me, and some don't, but don't hesitate to point me in the direction of something you'd like to hear!
To me, that voice is so reminding of my favorite Afro-Bro that I even could shrug off the deathnote on Coolio from one night ago! 🤗 #BlackExcellence
Thank you!
I’ve always loved this story as one that truly scares me for some reason. The ending is perfect.
Thank you so much for listening! I agree that it's a truly scary story. It's so understated, yet chillingly draws our attention to the enormity of all we do not know or understand.
Perfect narration. I'm transported into the hotel. Very well done. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great job! 😊
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I think I saw the story dramatized on an old Alfred Hitchcock TV show!
Yes, and they also did on Dahl's series, Tales of the Unexpected. Susan George played the wife.
I've been rewatching some episodes of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour recently, and now I am definitely going to keep. my eyes open for this one. Thanks for the heads up!
Hash eel, damn it.
Very understated. Is this from a book of short stories?
This was originally published in the Saturday Evening Post, of all places, and I believe it's Chandler's only short story published outside of the pulps (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!)
Wonderful, thankyou.
Thank you so much for listening!
This was very nice, I applaud the choice. I'm a new sub
Thank you! Lord Dunsany wrote a lot of great stuff imho, but this one particularly stuck with me.
Sad twist for someone being helpful.
I know, right?
This was good. Thank you.
Thank you very much and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
these old sci fi stories are great their imagination never ceases too amaze me ,have a great day people
I agree! In our age we are a little more timid in some ways. It can be refreshing to look back and see their embrace of the future.
did not know of this one... thank you.
Thank you for listening!
Beautiful voice, great performance! Thank you!🙏
You are very kind, thank you!
LOL! That Spot!
I know! This story actually cracked me up so much I had some trouble recording it :D
Roald Dahl's fiction often has a sadistic streak in it, and this story is my idea of good prose noir.
The sadism, yes! But it never occurred to me that this was a noir, and now I believe you are completely correct!
When a random stop proves to be just so 👍 Thank you !
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Enjoyed this story, forgot how much I enjoyed Chandler.
Chandler is a treat to savor! I dread the day when I can say I've read my way through all his work lol
