À propos de cet audio
England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of 20 years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe oppose him. The quest for the king’s freedom destroys his adviser, the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey, and leaves a power vacuum and a deadlock.
Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. The son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a bully, and a charmer, Cromwell has broken all the rules of a rigid society in his rise to power and is preparing to break some more. Rising from personal disaster - the loss of his young family and of Wolsey, his beloved patron - he picks his way deftly through a court where man is wolf to man. Pitting himself against parliament, the political establishment, and the papacy, he is prepared to reshape England to his own and Henry’s desires.
In inimitable style, Hilary Mantel presents a picture of a half-made society on the cusp of change, where individuals fight or embrace their fate with passion and courage. With a vast array of characters, overflowing with incident, Wolf Hall recreates an era when the personal and political are separated by a hairbreadth, where success brings unlimited power but a single failure means death.

Histoire
As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

I found the narrator a tad disappointing, and flat. I could not differentiate the male voices (as for Cardinal Wolsey - the cadence was like a too floaty/whinny. It was so irritating way).
This is not a passionate book (if you wish for one set in this historical period, and need more description I strongly recommend "Hamnet & Judith") but I did become interested in the political machinations around the first divorce of Henry VIII, the beginnings of the political reformation in England, and the disillusion of the monestries. I was definitely more educated when I finished this book.
I still could not work out how an abused son of a blacksmith became the towering lawyer figure that was Thomas Cromwell, (it was often mentioned, but not adequately explained) but the imagination used to visulalize the scenes between the characters and create intimate scenes that seemed so real. Stunning.
Fun fact, this is all done in present tense, which does help haul you along. Not sure if I will read the sequel.
