A Dog of Flanders by Ouida ~ Full Audiobook [tragedy]

A Dog of Flanders by Ouida audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In a quiet Flemish village near Antwerp, a poor orphan boy named Nello and his loyal dog Patrasche struggle to survive on the edges of society. Taken in by his kindly grandfather, Nello earns a few coins delivering milk and doing odd jobs, while Patrasche, once abused and overworked, becomes both companion and partner in their daily labor. Nello's one true refuge is art: he sketches whenever he can, dreaming of a future beyond hunger and hard winters. But dreams are costly in a world ruled by class, gossip, and small-town pride. As Nello grows close to Alois, the daughter of a local miller, he finds himself pressed between affection and circumstance, especially when the miller's favor turns uncertain. Meanwhile, a prestigious art competition offers Nello a slim chance at recognition, even as setbacks and misunderstandings tighten around him. A Dog of Flanders is a poignant story of loyalty, innocence, and the bruising gap between talent and opportunity, set against the stark beauty of the Flemish landscape and the enduring hope kindled by a single masterpiece.
