'A literary rite of passage.' The Times
'Plath changed our world.' Guardian

Esther is supposed to be having the time of her life. Her internship at a fashion magazine is a whirl of cocktail parties and dinner dates in the shimmering city. But why doesn't she feel anything? Back home in the suburbs, she is trapped inside a suffocating bell jar . She can't write her novel; her boyfriend is a hypocrite; there seems no point in getting out of bed. As she spirals into darkness, her world becomes increasingly unreal ...

An unflinchingly honest portrait of a young woman's breakdown, Sylvia Plath's iconic The Bell Jar has transformed the lives of millions of readers since it was first published in 1963. Its witty, acidic, razor-sharp voice will stay with you forever.

ONE OF THE BBC'S '100 NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD'


'Plath's masterpiece . . . It's amazing how relevant this book still is.'
'I just couldn't put it down.'
'Ever better than I expected.'

Großartige Sprecherin

In brilliant descriptions Sylvia Plath is sharing her mental development and illness as well as her views on people and the world of her time, a world that has only changed in some respects, making many of her observations as relevant today as they were then.

Understanding the mind and people

'“We’ll act as if all this were a bad dream.” A bad dream. To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.'

Phenomenal

The only audio book that the performer actually improves the book. She does not act the protagonist, she is her. Just amazing.

Better than the book itself

I enjoyed the audiobook very much. The last chapter, the biographical note, was especially interesting. The piano interlude between the chapters was a good idea, but way too loud. The audio mix should have been way subtler on that one, as it repeatedly wrested me out of bed as I was listening to the book to fall asleep to.

Wonderfully read, wonderfully written
