The longest audiobook was recorded in 2008, and this record of 115 hours and 43 minutes (almost 5 days!) has not yet been broken. This is a series of lectures by the Japanese philosopher and poet Takaaki Yoshimoto, which is called: "50 lectures". Formally, it would now be considered more of a podcast channel than an audiobook.

However, if we count not symbols, but words, then the first line in this rating is occupied by the novel "Artamen, or the Great Cyrus" by Georges and Madeleine de Scudéry. The volume of this work is 2.1 million words (against 1.3 million words for Proust). Formally, this is a series of novels in ten volumes, first published in 1653 (even then there was paper for this!). There are several hundred characters in the book, and, according to those who have mastered this opus, the plot is incredibly boring!

The origin of the books is partly indicated by their very name, the Latin word "liber" – a book that means "face", that is, the bark removed from a tree, and the English word "book" comes from the name of the tree – beech, since in the north of Europe wooden planks made of tree bark were used for writing. They also wrote on them in medieval Novgorod, only the Novgorodians, unlike the British, used not beech bark for writing, but birch, during the excavations of ancient Novgorod, archaeologists found a large birch bark library from various medieval written documents compiled on birch bark.
