À propos de cet audio

 In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict.
"A sweeping chronology filled with excitement."

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Fascinating . . . stunning . . . [a] wonderful rampage through history . . . Biblical history, as seen through the eyes of a professor who is puzzled, appalled, delighted, enriched and impoverished by the spectacle of a land where all men are archeologists.”—The New York Times

“A sweeping [novel] filled with excitement—pagan ritual, the clash of armies, ancient and modern: the evolving drama of man’s faith.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Magnificent . . . a superlative piece of writing both in scope and technique . . . one of the great books of this generation.”—San Francisco Call Bulletin

I couldn't relate to this story and got lost in the story line. But I like the narrator and the effort he made for all correct pronunciation...

Too long and too complex

True enough story of how we got here and why things are as they are. Very enlightening.

Excellent

The narrator is superb. Some editing would have helped as it would in most of Mr. Mitchners books but that does not detract from the overall genius of the novel. Entertaining and educational, what more could one ask.

Excellent Narration. Brilliant Novel.

Found the reading a bit annoying. Too long pauses between sentences disturbed the rhythm of the narrative. The story is gripping in
many ways both historical a d the personal stories of the characters. A long haul, but worth it!

Didn't love it. I found it of interest. The narrator wasn't great. He was somewhat monotone.
