À propos de cet audio
Globally bestselling historian Dan Jones makes his historical fiction debut with Essex Dogs, the explosive first instalment in an epic new trilogy set during the Hundred Years War.
July 1346. The Hundred Years' War has begun, and King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. But this war belongs to the men on the ground.
Swept up in the bloody chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again. With sword, mace and longbow, the Essex Dogs will fight, from the landing beaches of Normandy to the bloodsoaked field of Crécy.
There's Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. Millstone, a stonemason who'll do anything to protect his men. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors of war. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. And Loveday Fitztalbot, their battle-scarred captain, who just wants to get his boys home safe.
Some men fight for glory. Others fight for coin. The Essex Dogs? They fight for each other.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 3
To the Soviet Union, the sacrifices that enabled the country to defeat Nazi Germany in World War II were sacrosanct. The foundation of the Soviets’ hard-won victory was laid during the battle for the city of Stalingrad, resting on the banks of the Volga River. To Russians, it is a pivotal landmark of their nation’s losses, with more than two million civilians and combatants either killed, wounded, or captured during the bitter fighting from September 1942 to February 1943. Both sides endured terrible conditions in brutal, relentless house-to-house fighting.

Niccolò Rising, book one of the series, finds us in Bruges, 1460. Jousting is the genteel pastime, and successful merchants are, of necessity, polyglot. Street smart, brilliant at figures, adept at the subtleties of diplomacy and the well-timed untruth, Dunnett's hero rises from wastrel to prodigy in a breathless adventure that wins him the hand of the strongest woman in Bruges and the hatred of two powerful enemies.

Jane Charlotte has been arrested for murder. She tells police that she is a member of a secret organization devoted to fighting evil; her division is called the Department for the Final Disposition of Irredeemable Persons - "Bad Monkeys" for short. This confession earns Jane a trip to the jail’s psychiatric wing, where a doctor attempts to determine whether she is lying, crazy, or playing a different game altogether.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 49
The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus, who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.

D-Day, June 6, 1944, and the 76 days of bitter fighting in Normandy that followed the Allied landing, have become the defining episode of World War II in the west - the object of books, films, television series, and documentaries. Yet as familiar as it is, as James Holland makes clear in his definitive history, many parts of the OVERLORD campaign, as it was known, are still shrouded in myth and assumed knowledge.

The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789, is one of history's truly great stories - a tale of human drama, intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take them to the West Indies, the Bounty's crew found themselves in a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave.

Absolutely fantastic!
Listened to it at work, and honestly I had to fight to not listen to it all in one day. Very very good, very excited for more from Dan Jones.

Alright, I guess.
The story of the English campaign leading up to the battle of Crécy, from the perspective of an anxious, boring, unsympathetic band of drug addicts and whiners. Entirely without dash or flare. I hope I never have to spend a moment with any of these characters again.

Bit of a dog's dinner
The mismatched mercenary band, struggling against foreign enemies and enemies in their own midst is well trodden. Sharpe, Whiskyjack, the Black Company - here we have Loveday and a rag tag team of archers, thugs and drunks campaigning in France as mercenaries serving Edward III and various nobles in northern France during the Hundred Years War. None of the group are especially memorable - even the old, tired, disillusioned Loveday is a hollow archetype we've seen many times before. His counterpoint is Romford; a drug addicted young archer who ends up as squire to Edward of Woodstock, but is really just an observer of events rather than a participant in any meaningful way.
The biggest problem is that the book lacks plot and focus. The Essex Dogs stumble from one scrape or mission to the next, with none of them being especially exciting or consequential. And by the time we reach the battle of Crecy, the Dogs are nowhere to be seen as Romford's point of view takes over. Yet Romford, despite being an archer, barely lifts a bow in a battle defined by English longbow men. It's all a bit of a dull shambles.
Thin characters, lack of any real plot, and poor focus mean I can't work up any enthusiasm for the rest in this trilogy.
