À propos de cet audio
From the author of At the Bat: The Strikeout That Shamed America, the ninth-best baseball novel of all time as ranked by Goodreads, comes The Cremation of Sam McGee, a story based on the poetry and arctic ballads of Robert W. Service, including The Cremation of Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew.
A richly told fable of love, lies, and redemption that isn’t too far from the truth.
Wild West Magazine says: “Del Leonard Jones has crafted a marvelous book that is part historical fiction and part historical fable. The book’s exciting second half takes place during the Klondike Gold Rush, and the first is in Cuba during the 1898 Spanish-American War. The main character, Jayson Kelley, is a celebrated correspondent working for newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. Down Havana way he meets Sam McGee and his beautiful, mysterious sister Luisa. There is a lot here about yellow journalism and honesty, and thus a lot that relates to today's "fake news" preoccupation."
Listeners who enjoy Robert Service poetry such as The Spell of the Yukon will enjoy this book, as will fans of Alaska by James Michener and Jack London novels The Call of the Wild, White Fang, Martin Eden, The Sea Wolf, The Iron Heel, and To Build a Fire.
