À propos de cet audio

The second book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

A Saxon raised by Vikings. A pagan fighting for a Christian King. The conflict at the heart of a hero will be played out in the fight for England.

It is 877. Across the kingdoms of Britain the Danes are gaining strength. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a pagan warrior, must decide who he will align with: the Vikings who raised him or Alfred, King of the West Saxons.

As the Danes make for Wessex and threaten to destroy the kingdom, Uhtred will forge an uneasy alliance with the king, to lead the last remaining Saxon army in a battle that will be a fight for the very existence of England.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for The Pale Horseman:

‘Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer

‘It is stirring stuff, and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the times…Ninth-century Britain and a master of storytelling – it is a marriage made in heaven.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘Cornwell’s mastery of historical sources and his aptitude for battle scenes is well established…the language, and particularly the dialogue, is raw and unarchaic, rich in insults and Anglo-Saxon expletives.’ Times Literary Supplement

Les plus pertinents

I loved The Pale Horseman, the second book in The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwell. The author continues to weave a gripping and realistic story of a crucial period in England’s history. Uhtred is a captivating character who narrates his own story with humor, honesty and insight. He is a skilled and courageous warrior, but also a complex and conflicted man. He has to balance his Saxon heritage and his Danish upbringing, his loyalty to Alfred and his ambition to reclaim his land, his love for his wife and his attraction to another woman. The book also features other intriguing characters, such as Alfred, Guthrum, Leofric and Iseult. The book is full of action, drama and intrigue, as well as historical details and descriptions. I was hooked from the first page to the last and I couldn’t put it down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, especially fans of Vikings and Anglo-Saxon history. This book is a brilliant sequel to a fascinating series.

I also want to applaud the narrator, Jonathan Keeble, who did a wonderful job of bringing the characters and the story to life. He has a clear and expressive voice that captures the emotions and personalities of each character. He also switches between different accents and tones with ease and skill. He made me feel like I was listening to a real person telling me his story, not just reading a book. He is one of the best narrators I have ever heard.
