À propos de cet audio

Set in 18th century Cornwall, Ross Poldark is the first novel in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series. Now a television phenomenon, it has been adapted for twice by the BBC as Poldark, most recently starring Aidan Turner.

Cornwall in the 1780s – when powerful forces of revolution and reaction are at large in the world.

Tired from a grim war in America, Ross Poldark returns to his land and his family. But the joyful homecoming he has anticipated turns sour, for his father is dead, his estate is derelict and the girl he loves is engaged to his cousin.

But his sympathy for the destitute miners and farmers of the district leads him to rescue a half-starved urchin girl from a fairground brawl and take her home – an act which alters the whole course of his life . . .

Ross Poldark is followed by Demelza, the second novel in this evocative series.

'From the incomparable Winston Graham . . . who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' – The Guardian

Ce que les critiques en disent

Ross is one of literature's great heroes . . . [with] elements of Darcy, Heathcliff, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood (Debbie Horsfield, writer of BBC One's Poldark)
From the incomparable Winston Graham . . . who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more
The plot roars along as the sea crashes, rain lashes and wild winds whip up the spume. I swear you can almost hear the screaming gulls
Die-hard Poldark fans take note: if the TV series is not enough for you, there are 12 (yes, 12) novels in the original series . . . Love rivalry, war, class struggles - it's a rich soup of discontent, and there are some blistering lines in the books
Steeped in humour, romance, passion and tragedy, the Poldark books are as exciting and fresh as they are timeless and memorable. Don't miss them!

What a lovely story.

The historical context is very interesting. I knew nothing about Cornwall and the historical context of England when France was so close to the 1789 revolution.

I just can't wait to start the next.

Lovely

Beautifully written, with a narrator who brings the characters to life. I’m excited to take the journey through all thirteen books.

Happiness is finding the first book in a series and knowing there are more to follow!
