A Lodging for the Night by Robert Louis Stevenson | New Arabian Nights | Full Audiobook

"A Lodging for the Night: A Story of Francis Villon" is a gripping tale set in 15th-century Paris. Francis Villon, a poet and a poor master of arts, finds himself entangled in a web of crime and desperation on a snowy November night. After witnessing a murder committed by his companions, Villon grapples with fear and moral dilemmas as he navigates the treacherous streets of Paris in search of shelter.

Have you released these as a podcast? Or would you consider it. I refuse to pay KZbin money and would like to listen to them in the background 😅

[@snowysnowyriver]

What a beautiful voice! Perfect for this kind of classic story.

[@woah6958]

It sounds a little sped up though, unfortunately.

[@TuringTalesTV]

Really relished the layered characterization of Villon. The way his inner conflicts and moral struggles are portrayed amid the stark realities of poverty and crime is truly compelling.

[@phillylifer]

I read this thirty five years ago and was deeply struck by the tale and the telling, but went on to forget its title and author and have been looking for it ever since. I am grateful.

[@Frenchblue8]

Oh how wonderful you finally found it! I know what that's like, not only with books but music as well. Odd how wonderful things like that somehow get lost.. I'm very happy for you!

[@claresmith9261]

The writing in this is just beyond brilliant, I had forgotten how in-depth, descriptive and the excellent. Effortless flow and ease he has with the English language 👍🏻thanks, really enjoyed this story

[@KieranMarsden19]

Thanks for taking me away to that cold Parisian nightmare...

[@deliacodums8926]

A truly great writer. Such a contrast to the usual trite that is dished up.

[@adamhughes4442]

Books today are mostly garbage. Swamped with crime thrillers, all with similar covers, with contrived plots and boring writing, just to fulfill time-limited contracts. Actually this new millenuim is all shit. What a terribly era to be living in!!!!

[@meredithisme3752]

And of course these days the mandatory gay

[@Frenchblue8]

​@@meredithisme3752the word you're looking for is obligatory; but what a despicable thing to say. I pity you your precious hatreds

[@audreyricci6383]

Please find an older dictionary and look up the original meaning of the word gay. It does not mean homosexual.

[@Aggrobiscuit]

@@adamhughes4442 Think of it this way; it's better to be born after all the great works have been completed, since we have access to all of it. All royalty free and instantly available. Don't look forwards too much to the great works of the future, since we will probably need another world war to create the conditions for them to exist again.

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

I needed to hear twice. Such a lot going on in this short story. Cynicism seems to be the driver.

[@toekafrank6998]

Lovely...author and narrator alike!❤

[@thomashumphries3519]

The storytellers voice sends me back in time...most exelent

[@JaneFrieman]

I am in agreement with your comment.

[@Jason-ng2vf]

Impeccably voiced 👍 Thanks Arthur!

[@sharingmyfun8804]

Beautifully narrated. 5:58

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

I love RLS, great narration.

[@fullc0de]

What a cracking good story and a terrific narrator!

[@helentaylor1222]

I really enjoyed this. I've met so many poets and vagabonds and this was their true same personality. Thank you so much.

[@AnnaWalsh-qi2kj]

A masterpiece ✨️

[@beckymartin1810]

This was a real treat. Excellent

[@darrenpearce6617]

Villon played by Ronald Colman in If I Were King and subject of The Vagabond King. Great stuff. Never heard of this Stevenson story.

[@safiamohamud9263]

Very beautiful and mesmerizing voice

[@amig9318]

So Beautiful. ❤️

[@mariameere5807]

Excellence 🌟 Thank you so much and a happy new year to you!🕊🤍🕊

[@earthcat]

Perfect.

[@judikingsman6132]

Mr Lawrence Fox sounds a bit like this voice. Thank you Mr Lane ❤

[@davidwebster3107]

Nasty and bonkers then?…

[@feralbluee]

You are a very good reader/actor and so easy to listen to. i was surprised at the suddenness of the end* as well as the ending itself, but a story like this in the hands of a master craftsman is emotionally understood and gives thought to the circumstances. so thanks much and i subscribed :) 🌷🌱 * (where you gave us space to react before talking, which some readers do not understand.)

[@paramedicchrisbookseries]

Great narration

[@maryannet2339]

❤thank you for the story ❤

[@evelanpatton]

A bit of EQUALITY found in the CLASS MORALITY. Then & now could still be said truth when survival is no longer just, free like when twined indigenously- land to hand. Oh, SOCIETY…great & lowly, rough & civil, luxuries & survival, what have we here & now, then & gone. Lovely pieces of mirroring from high & mighty with low & manly. Verses of rue.

[@nancyM1313]

thank you🍃⚘🍃

[@marckg6950]

I did not know RLS, was such a prolific writer.

[@adamhughes4442]

I did!

[@frederickacharles552]

Thank you

[@albertlopez2237]

This narrator is a modern day Alexzander Scorby

[@Detroitmamma]

Im sorry 1400s to 2024 u are a sum Total of yr choices Blaming others for yr poverty will never cut it! ❤Detroit Mamma absolutely loves this story ❤️ 🎉

[@Detroitmamma]

❤love it Detroit Mamma 1500 or 2024 we are all a sum total of our choices!

[@lyndabrennan4560]

Just in time for bedtime, really appreciated thank you so much for your hard work helping people like myself to sleep better 🙏💛💚💙

[@DS-um9hi]

The down side is it takes me about three nights to listen to them cos I fall asleep half way through and forgot where I got too 😅

[@visceralvore]

Criminal Minds defined always looking for a crime to commit even of loved ones, Crime makes Criminals happy.

If you steal from a rich man you are just a thief If you steal from a poor man you are just a thief If you steal from a thief you are just a thief Tell your horror stories of being robbed Theft is disabling A Criminal Mind is a person always looking for a crime to commit even of loved ones, crime makes Criminals happy.

[@blueridgepics]

Why are so many readers in such a hurry?

[@nutwatch1854]

The video description really reads like it was written by ChatGPT.

[@DoahnKea_Tuber]

@nutwatch1854: Thank you - We're sorry you feel that way.

[@liddylisa]

The commercials wake me up .

[@user-jl8mp6lg4i]

I’m learning…

[@lavoxii]

The speed of reading it’s too fast.

[@Shelly-mz9yf]

Sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch a most awesome orator 1😃😃

[@huggiver1221]

Thanks for warning, I won't listen now 😢

[@Aggrobiscuit]

A good story about the futility of trying to help those intent on repeating the same mistakes.

[@john1653]

Too many ads...I cant finish this story.

[@audreyricci6383]

I have the skip icon on my phone to omit ads.

[@veritas6335]

In lesser hands, Victorian prose is overly florid and so cumbersome as to be almost impenetrable and frankly tiresome to listen to In the hands of a master storyteller like Stevenson however, it actually becomes literature. Well narrated. .

[@emcarver8983]

Lesser hands? Victorian stories were written IN VICTORIAN. TIMES!? 🤦

[@raggedbreath]

​@@emcarver8983 not sure the OP is suggesting it's not. Just that there were less able Victorian writers

[@user-sq6rj4cx3j]

No

[@izzytrue8630]

Read far too fast ... so no feeling!!!

[@jamiestipelcovich5390]

I prefer the fast read, it’s about how fast as people talk so it’s truly like listening to a story, the ones that draw everything out make me forget the beginning of sentences

[@user-em3vl6li5w]

I thought the narration was excellent. Conveyed the time very well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@christianman5092]

Damm commercials

[@nv7287]

Way too many ads so I stopped.

[@jeanniemullinder9038]

'Balard' ????? do you mean ballad ? ha ha

[@ggcctv9575]

Spoiled by commercials- pity 😮 Unsubscribed

[@lorafanter3804]

Commercials...like ads? Like at beginning or throughout? Bummer. I don't get ads so wasn't sure.

[@magi267]

I was looking for an audio book yo put me to sleep. This did that. I'm now hoping it will do it again.

[@user-em3vl6li5w]

Supposedly the ads are necessary to fund the channel. Unfortunately a sign of the times. Nevertheless worthy content.
