Historia
A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist’s eye toward gender, genre, and history - Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this version brings new context to an old story.

Ugly translation, poor narrator
Revisado: 03-21-25
Translation was not nice. I didn’t realize this was going to be a weird American mix of ‘bro’ and yoda. The narrator was odd, at times I suspected it might be AI.

Performance is terrible.

Love the stories but the production is terrible
Revisado: 04-28-21
It’s not the reading or the story that makes this audiobook hard to listen to. It’s just that there’s a lot of other noise going on in the production- either music or other voices that make it hard to hear the reader.

Historia
A lively and deeply researched group biography of the figures who transformed the world of art in bohemian Paris in the first decade of the 20th century. In Montmartre is a colorful history of the birth of Modernist art as it arose from one of the most astonishing collections of artistic talent ever assembled. It begins in October 1900, as a teenage Pablo Picasso, eager for fame and fortune, first makes his way up the hillside of Paris’s famous windmill-topped district.

Very annoying reading

I hated the reading by this woman. Every time she said “”Montmartre” it sounded like she was hacking up a hairball.

Historia
The 14th century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague.

This is good but I think I need to read it
Revisado: 08-18-12
This is really interesting but sometimes hard to follow - maybe it wouldn't be for someone already steeped in 14th century history, but I found many times I wasn't sure what prince or king was being spoken about (often that's what was said - "the prince" or "the king" without a name) and since it's audio I couldn't just flip back a page to clarify for myself. There's a lot of really interesting stuff in this book about the lives of the people and the impact of war and plague, but it's very long and extremely detailed, filled with names of people who I wasn't sure where to place. For a book like this, I'd like to see a recording broken down into more tracks with titles so I could get more of a feeling for where in the narrative I was.
