À propos de cet audio

Audie Award Finalist, History, 2014

One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive for us in this certain best-seller.

Bryson has done it again! Starting with an interesting premise, a delve into one of America's most interesting summers, Bryson paints a well-researched and fascinating landscape of those amazingly eventful few months that takes flight across the ocean with the Spirit of St. Louis and rumbles around ball diamonds in the United States. His portraits focus on some of the major historic figures of the time (including Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, Sacco and Vanzetti, and Al Capone) but it is the (now largely forgotten) characters who add richness to the book. Bryson shows us the personalities, news stories, films, crimes, events, and pastimes of the era and, as his his delightful way, he finds the interesting connections between and among them and uses those connections to stitch the tapestry of that summer. a great summer read/listen any time if the year!

What a summer - what a book!

I have listened to this audiobook at least 5 times. Bryson is a master at blending the informative with the entertaining, the charming with the thought provoking. Every chapter of history is bursting with stories to be told, and no one tells them better than Bill Bryson. On top of all that, his narration is charming, soothing, and endearing. If you get this app and listen to only one book, make it this.

Brilliant historical storytelling
