À propos de cet audio

 From the bestselling author of A Ladder to the Sky—“a darkly funny novel that races like a beating heart” (People)—comes a new novel that plays out across all of human history: a story as precise as it is unlimited.

This story starts with a family. For now, it is a father and a mother with two sons, one with his father’s violence in his blood, one with his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will determine their fate. It is a beginning.

Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years. They will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across fifty countries to a life among the stars in the third, the world will change around them, but their destinies remain the same. It must play out as foretold.

From the award-winning author of The Heart’s Invisible Furies comes A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom, an epic tale of humanity. The story of all of us, stretching across two millennia. Imaginative, unique, heartbreaking, this is John Boyne at his most creative and compelling. Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Historique Destin Drôle Sincère

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for The Heart’s Invisible Furies

“By turns whimsical and heartbreaking, Boyne’s sprawling novel treads Dickensian territory across seven decades of Irish history, ending with a redemption for both a country and a native son.”—People

“Bleak, bittersweet, and Irish to the bone . . . Explore[s] the relationship between Catholicism and patriarchy in midcentury Ireland and beyond.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

“A picaresque, lolloping odyssey for the individual characters and for the nation that confines them . . . The book blazes with anger as it commemorates lives wrecked by social contempt and self‑loathing. . . . A substantial achievement.”—The Guardian

Praise for A Ladder to the Sky

“A satire of writerly ambition wrapped in a psychological thriller . . . an homage to Patricia Highsmith, Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe, but its execution is entirely Boyne’s own.”—The Washington Post

“Boyne’s mastery of perspective, last seen in The Heart’s Invisible Furies, works beautifully here. . . . So dark it seems almost impossible to enjoy reading A Ladder to the Sky as much as you definitely will enjoy reading it.”—NPR

“Delicious.”—Vanity Fair

“A darkly funny novel that races like a beating heart.”—People

I agree with stargirl this was a GOOD book right up until the end which for me ruined it , totally lost was the ending in this unfortunate choice of Johns .I will not purchase another book by John Boyne as I hate a POOR ENDING why spend 12 + hours only to be so disappointed leave your politics where they belong which was not here.BOO!!!!!!!!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome ruined a good book"

interesting. It took me a while to figure out how the book was set up. After a while, I realized that he was travelling in the same body and mind throughout the ages and in different countries. This is quite different and interesting. He gave a nice representation of Trump. I enjoyed his work on this book and look forward to many more. A bit gruesome, though about the killings, didn’t like that too much and how they treated women.

Great storytelling
