Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Silvia Cecchini's narration is a revelation; her voice conveys the story’s haunting atmosphere with uncanny precision. The green face, a central motif, becomes both literal and metaphorical, mirroring the psychological turmoil of its protagonist. While the pacing can be slow at times, it allows for deep immersion in Meyrink's dense, atmospheric world. Occasionally, the allegorical elements might feel heavy-handed but overall, 'Il volto verde' is a must-listen for fans of classic gothic fiction seeking a profound and unsettling journey.
