हिन्दी की सबसे दमदार उपन्यास

गोदान हिन्दी साहित्य की सबसे अच्छी उपन्यास है,
और इसमें समीर गोस्वामी जी की आवाज़ ने चार-चांद लगा दिए हैं।

just speechless after completing the novel.

The narration was just fabulous as of the story there is no word to describe munsi premchand work. the character development,story building coped with amazing narration if you haven't tried it you are sure missing the gold.

Lovely novel

The mirror of rural India. Still relatable in current times. Munshiji's in depth scrutiny of Indian rural society through these characters are so alive that we can feel them. Hori's simplicity and Dhaniya's intelligence slapping the society and its outer glitter is heart piercing.

appointing different narrators for different voice

appointing different narrators for different voices at least for male female and children would have been better though.

The undisputed King of novelists in Hindi

First of all, the narrator is very good in tone, pace and variation the story demands. One of the best narrations I have come across.

I don't have enough words that could do justice to describe the quality, insight and suspense that Munshi Premchand packs in his novels and Godaan is no exception.

Masterpiece

Excellent read by Goswami. Masterpiece by Premchand on Indian society in 30s. A great perspective on morality and philosophy of life.

One of the best ....

I just love everything about the book-story line, character specifications and narration were just mind blowing. It was 16 hrs books which I finished in just under 3 days. From start to the beginning it was a flawless. The story and writing is extraordinary.
I would give 10 on 10 !!

Beautiful narration of a classic

Like many urban Indians who speak Hindi but do not read much of it, I am literate in Hindi but read mostly English. During this pandemic I diversified my reading and realised I had never read any novel in an Indian language. I had read English translations of several but I felt the need to read one in one of the Indian languages. I tried a few in different languages but I didn’t enjoy the reading part so I tried to look for titles on Audible and found this narration of Premchand’s acclaimed classic. From the very first line, Sameer Goswami’s voice carries you deep into Premchand’s world. The novel itself needs no review or summary. It is a classic after all but 5 stars to Sameer Goswami’s narration. I listened at 0.8x speed as the Hindi was a bit different from the modern conversational Hindi that I am used to.
Goswami’s voice brings to life Premchand’s detailed world-building and incisive dialogue with such authenticity that you wish for the tale to continue forever. A wonderful experience.
