Some experiences of an Irish R.M. ; and, Further experiences of an Irish R.M (Everyman's library)

The unabridged classic on MP3 audio, narrated by Alfred von Lecteur. Three playback speeds on one disk; etext edition included. Running time: 7.7 hours (slow), 7.0 hours (medium), 6.4 hours (fast). The various stories concern the life of an Irish ex-British Army officer Resident Magistrate (R.M.) recently appointed to his position in Ireland, which at that stage was still wholly a part of the United Kingdom, and before the creation of the present day Republic of Ireland. Somerville and Ross have portrayed the lives of the people of the west of Ireland with an ear for native dialog that some have claimed to be second only to Joyce.
