Alan Rickman reading The return of the native by Thomas Hardy

[@ADRat.Skating.Hockey]

That voice may be physically gone but it will certainly never be forgotten. You live on, Alan. Always.

[@maritakorneliusson2145]

Always😥❤😭

[@CompleteHearsay]

After all this time? Always.

[@LITTLEMUSTANGFILLY]

There's something soothing about his voice when he reads. He could read a horror story and the sound of his voice would put me in a peaceful sleep.

[@AceripXF]

lmao esp if he speaks softly lol

[@AceripXF]

LMAO funny but true lol

[@TheKeineHobbies]

Voice Pooorn *-* his voice is so beautiful and calming. I kinda feel like Snape is reading me a Bed Time Story :D

[@AceripXF]

omg thats what i picture too lol n isnt he incredibly hot?

[@AceripXF]

Omg how bout it gaws i love hia voice

[@Dz-zi7qh]

I have been dealing with lowkey insomnia for awhile now and when I do fall asleep I often have nightmares. His voice has helped me fall asleep easier and the nightmares are not as frequent now and I can't express my gratitude to him, and the people who've uploaded this video and the other videos of him reading.

[@MelJW2]

That's the same reason that I've been listening to it. I have really bad insomnia, and night mares as well. Before I found this, I listened to a really great meditation series that worked well, and before that I tried binaural beats.

[@CaribTanguera]

Thank you!

[@asmaa2651]

i played this 4 times on a row with me having no idea of what he's saying just listening .....

[@TotalyOzzFan]

+Asmaa ! YES. i got no idea, im not paying attention to what he is saying, just the voice, the intonation, is enough...

[@manuela-grace]

same here

[@missmary1015]

I could listen to him read a phone book. That voice is purely enchanting

[@b1685ify]

Possibly the greatest first chapter of any English novel read with such command by a great actor with a God given voice. What a loss.......

[@oliviawalker777]

His diction is so perfect and his accent is beautiful.

[@gracedirocco8049]

RIP Alan Rickman. Your voice is unforgettable.

[@catiecatie2193]

I am Hungarian and I have no idea what he reads. But I listen because his voice is so beautiful. (Sorry, my english is very awful)

[@CarolPrice4p]

Your English is very good! For some reason, it should be 'no idea what he is reading'. Maybe because you are describing one particular instance.

[@user-bl2lu2nx2u]

❤ your. English is. Fine❤

[@bernarditaossa5747]

Alan: your voice is far enough so perfect that nothing else matters.

[@sarahr7515]

Rest in Paradise Alan Rickman. You will be greatly missed by many, but never forgotten.

[@Dz-zi7qh]

Sarah R legends never die. They just move somewhere else. And now he's on David Bowie concerts.

[@madalinadanila_piano]

What a gem his voice was... Almost uncanny!! What an extraordinary gifted Artist!

[@aliceclavel2477]

I don't understand a word because I'm french, but I just can't stop listening to it ...

[@maritakorneliusson2145]

I'm from Sweden but only listen to his voise is sp sp calming down🇸🇪😉

[@donnalichvarcik9358]

Alans voice is the best medicine i ever had a true healer and doctor of curing everything

[@OoxB505]

Ugh his voice is so relaxing ☺️ he was such an intelligent, interesting and sexy man 😍

[@laroskundo]

His voice helps me to relax

[@irisevamagnusdottir9849]

Omg, his voice is so hot, I don't even care what the book is about.

[@Ho_oo]

rest in peace... Alan, the one of the best actor

[@kimberly6663]

I had no idea this existed so I was of course excited to read along to his voice--same problem everyone else is having in the comments. How can you expect me to focus when his voice is so dreamy?? There's just no way.

[@flamingolingo6169]

Love listening to that beautiful velvet voice 😍😌

[@sterretjeex]

Just listening to this because of his amazing patronizing voice .

[@healthycookingwithdotandki1304]

[@maritakorneliusson2145]

😥🇸🇪💔

[@maebethcatheywalker1864]

I fall asleep to this

[@mindakahn9964]

Buy the book on Audible it’s worth the money.

[@Jen999]

Alan Rickman will live on forever through the courage and the strength brought forth by his brilliant and beautiful voice .. What he reads makes no difference .. unless what he is reading has special significance for a certain listener .. To hear him is to become calm and comforted .. to hear him is to feel safe and cared for .. to hear him is to experience rest without pain .. Whether you understand what Alan Rickman reads does not matter .. that he reads matters still .. and to those who love him always will .. And it is enough .. just to listen.. Jen999💙

[@ambeckerful]

Alan Rickman is a fantastic narrator! Is there a way we can listen to the full audiobook--or a link?

[@joannamcdee9061]

We have not him except in our hearts and how he touched them...but we have that voice, that marvellous voice, the gift of a handicap when young mesmerized each of us from youth and well into our old age. Bless you Sir and thank you yet again...see you in my dreams...

[@donnalichvarcik9358]

Alan was our favorite person hero friend brother actor singer king 👑 dancer director entertainer narrator and now guardian angel we will miss you so much rip alan

[@shaniceschafer2681]

I Love his Voice 😍❤️

[@donnalichvarcik9358]

Alan was the greatest narrator of all time

[@SciSciToys]

RIP Alan.

[@isaniematthieu8595]

I can do with his soothing voice at the moment

[@juliettekeff9228]

Im french. No idea what's the text about, but what a vooooooice ! I'd dead for that fucking sexy voice

[@voiceofprime]

It has nothing to do with "being French", lol, his voice is like a magnet that absorbs your full attention from paying attention to the content of what he says.

[@juliettekeff9228]

Yeah ! He's amazing

[@carrietide]

Juliette KEFF I am French as well but very lucky to be proficient in English. It is a delight to listen to him reading.

[@lararella6046]

omg this voice😍😍😍😍

[@UselessMetaphors]

thank you Carib Tanguera, good job and a wonderful idea!!

[@CaribTanguera]

Thank you!

[@vaxxyourass3436]

I have no idea what so ever what he was saying... just listened to his voice😍

[@oliviawalker777]

I didn't become really aware of him till he was gone 4 yrs, then found such a connection l could have been married to him in the right circumstance. Would that there were more like him, but he was one only of his kind,nor is there ever likely to be. Angels must have attended the moment of his conception.

[@prabhsimransandhu1620]

I wish i had a teacher like him 😔

[@donnalichvarcik9358]

His to beautiful voice was my addiction and now is my total obsession

[@prajapaty911]

Prof. Snape !

[@emm1h]

Now I can have a good night sleep =D

[@nikanyxspitzer]

I’m listening to this because of ELA class

[@reginajanikova4754]

Thank you for this comment, you have just made my day! :-)

[@robertharrold4214]

I rate this bloke and T.Hardy. Read the books yourself.

[@soniaagarwal7684]

sir the return of the native in by hardy

[@emilym8530]

Is this actually him reading it before he passed or is this ai generated?

[@sayanbiswas990]

who come here from redio mirchi RJ deep suggestion??

[@paulaustinmurphy]

I find Thomas Hardy's prose (at least in this novel) to be a little too convoluted and strained. It seems to belong to the early 19th century... It's funny really because I was given the impression that Hardy's prose is *down-to-earth and simple* and an example of a "modern novel" - even if also deep and profound. I personally find it too contrived. Perhaps his other novels are different....

[@lunarmodule3422]

he only shows pictures of himself. i thought jeff goldblum was full of himself. put a picture of hardy at least, sooooooo dramatic. toooo over the top. hardy is subtle, that what's makes his writing scream. he had to to slap victorian society in the face, and still make a living.

[@evilemperordude]

I'm pretty sure Alan Rickman didn't make the video.

[@AceripXF]

lmao im pretty sure he didnt either duh lol

[@flyinspirals]

Lunar Module Get a clue. Get out of your module and walk around a while, get to know the place.

[@AceripXF]

LOL flying

[@lunarmodule3422]

seriously this voice is pretentious and stilted nothing genuine about it. I am going to read the book.

[@nataleamccaughrin2909]

How desperately I wish that Alan Rickman’s mellifluous voice could have beautified and perfected the supervening literature: Everything You Want Me To Be, by Mindy Mejia; Valley Of The Dolls, by Jacqueline Susann; and especially A Rose In Winter, by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss; as well as his recently published semi-autobiography (Madly, Deeply: The Diaries Of Alan Rickman). 🙏🏻😔💔🎭🎬📖🎻📽🔐🖼🇬🇧🌥

[@juliettekeff9228]

Im french. No idea what's the text about, but what a vooooooice ! I'd dead for that fucking sexy voice
