À propos de cet audio
Price offers a rare balanced view of the relationship between the settlers and the natives. He unravels the crucial role of Pocahontas, a young woman whose reality has been obscured by centuries of legend and misinformation (and, more recently, animation). He paints indelible portraits of Chief Powhatan, the aged monarch who came close to ending the colony’s existence, and Captain John Smith, the former mercenary and slave, whose disdain for class distinctions infuriated many around him–even as his resourcefulness made him essential to the colony’s success.
Love and Hate in Jamestown is a superb work of popular history, reminding us of the horrors and heroism that marked the dawning of our nation.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A fine book...one that personifies the virtues I esteem...clarity, intelligence, grace,
novelty, and brevity."
--David L. Beck, San Jose Mecury News
Solid and engaging... Price focuses on the human story of Jamestown, nearly mythic
in its resonances."
--Caleb Crain, New York Times Book Review
"Splendidly realized...firmly grounded in original sources...and in later scholarship, it has
the immediacy of contemporary journalism...by teasing out the themes of love and hate,
Price has given the Jamestown story a contemporary freshness."
--Michael Kenney, Boston Globe
"Combining a gift for storytelling with meticulous scholarship...Price sorts reality from
legend in his splendid new book....it is superbly done."
-- Roger Bishop, BookPage
"Sparkling....Price relates the entire riveting story of the founding of Virginia....built
unobtrusively on the best scholarship....a splendid work of serious narrative history."
-- Publishers Weekly
"A graceful narrative history of the troubled Jamestown colony....A first-rate work of
popular history, and sure to become a standard."
--Kirkus
“Price has digested the most recent scholarship on early Virginia, then filtered it through his instincts as a storyteller to create the most historically correct and stylistically elegant rendering of John Smith and Pocahontas that I have ever read."
–Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
"In a rousing tale of the early years of Jamestown, David A. Price rescues Pocahontas and the Virginia settlement from Hollywood cartoons as deftly as the young Indian princess may have saved Captain John Smith from execution by her father, the great Powhatan."
–Jon Kukla, author of A Wilderness So Immense
"A juicy feast of compelling storytelling....a meticulosuly researched volume ...that scans
in the imagination like a motion picture. Love and Hate in Jamestown deserves an honored spot
in any history buffs library."
--Jerrold J. Ladd, Sr., Fort Worth Star-Telegram
