I absolutely LOVE this book! What a man, brilliant and entertaining.

[@joanmarshall6861]

A brilliant gentleman, never another like him.

[@dcharlies]

This is not gentleman. This is a nazi trash. This is the words he spoke about one proud nation and about one proud country while terrorist countries bombed that same country. Just like Ukraine now. But that country had no ally like Ukraine have US, British and part of Europe on her side. And that country was not nazistic.... Peter Ustinov: "It is unfortunate for all that no moral issue has ever been clearer. Any attempt to plea-bargain with outlaws and renegades will only be at the expense of honor, decency and self-respect. The Serbs, are two-dimensional people with a craving for simplicity and an ideology so basic it can be understood without effort. They need enemies, not friends, to focus their two-dimensional ideas. Life for them is a simple tune, never an orchestration, or even a pleasant harmony. Animals make use of their resources with far greater felicity than these retorted creatures, whose subscription to the human race is well in arrears.". Peace of human trash.

I saw Mr Ustinov’s one man show back in the 1980’s. He was a great raconteur. Thank you for uploading this.

Getting to know Mr Ustinov better, loved finding his book in audio, Thanks!

[@sabineludowigs6750]

Thank you for putting this up - sheer brilliance and joy!

I can't stop listening.What a gift

[@sigmac2765]

You are a great man, Sir. I never get tired of listening to your The Little Prince audiobook. I have listened to it more than 10 times literally! It is amazing.

[@reenougle]

I read this book years ago and this is a treat to hear Ustinov himself narrate.

I adored this man he was so funny and entertaining. His dulcet tones I could listen to forever_priceless!!!

Genius unleashed.🙏🏻

[@robertbutler2481]

One of the greatest actors ever

[@michaelhelme6313]

And a good filmmaker too. One of my favourite films is "Vice Versa". The pompous, self righteous monologues of Dr Grimstone (James Robertson Justice) are relished by my friends and I.

[@vickiepaul8258]

The dry wit was hilarious. I'm glad I didn't give up at the beginning. I've only listen to part 1 at this point.

I don't know of, or heard of, another individual, gifted with so much talent, who put so much in, and got much out, what in years to come, considered, a relatively a short life.

I miss the likes of Peter Ustinov. Funny, intelligent, devoid of ego.

[@garymitchell5899]

The way he constantly elaborates and embellishes his stories is clearly motivated by ego.

[@youjoker9647]

@@garymitchell5899 nobody is without an ego. As for his embellishments, it would be rather boring if he were to tell stories as if he were reading The Daily Mail

There's a second part on YT too. I found it, but then lost it again!

I was wrong. I just heard his recording of The Little Prince. It is him.

[@michaelhelme6313]

Thank you for the confirmation. I was getting worried there were fake Peter Ustinovs about.

[@christophekeating21]

Was it in english or French? I grew up listening to his narration of Piccolo and Saxo in French, which is the best French version imo even if he wasn't a native speaker!

I bought this book years ago expecting a very entertaining read but I was terribly disappointed. I’ll listen to the author’s rendition but I’m not holding my breath.

[@cgarcia262]

Well, it is the story of his life. Not all of life's moments are entertaining.

[@MrDavey2010]

cgarcia262 Of course he can’t change his life story. My point is that it isn’t written in an entertaining style.
