À propos de cet audio

Joseph Armagh was 13 when he first saw America through a dirty porthole on the steerage deck of The Irish Queen. It was the early 1850s, and he was a penniless orphan cast on a hostile shore to make a home for himself and his younger brother and infant sister. Some 70 years later, from his deathbed, Joseph Armagh last glimpsed his adopted land from the gleaming windows of a palatial estate. A multimillionaire, one of the most powerful and feared men, Joseph Armagh had indeed found a home. Captains and the Kings is the story of the price that was paid for it in the consuming, single-minded determination of a man clawing his way to the top.

I first read this book in 1975. I wept, I raged, my heart broke. Now, in this audiobook I am again overwhelmed by the same emotions, but deeper. The performance is excellent. Don't balk at the length of the book. You will be swept up and will be unable to do anything but let the story take you away. You will smell the soot in the railway cars, see the beauty of spring flowers on the broad green lawns, feel the happiness and heartbreak of the characters. They will be real to you because they are so vividly introduced. In 1975 I pressed this book on friends. Now almost 50 years later, I urge new friends to listen to this beautifully performed audiobook.

A stupendous book
