At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England—until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight. Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic.

It Doesn't Get Any Better!
Revisado: 03-09-25
I didn't think this book could be any better than it is. And then I heard Richard Armitage's reading and felt the magic come alive! This may be my all-time favourite book, and hearing it narrated so beautifully and articulately has made me love it even more!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 47
In January 1918, as World War I raged on, a new and terrifying virus began to spread across the globe. In three successive waves, from 1918 to 1919, influenza killed more than 50 million people. German soldiers termed it Blitzkatarrh, British soldiers referred to it as Flanders Grippe, but worldwide, the pandemic gained the notorious title of “Spanish flu”. Nowhere on earth escaped: the United States recorded 550,000 deaths (five times its total military fatalities in the war) while European deaths totaled more than two million.

Great book not so great narrator.
Revisado: 02-03-21
Catharine Arnold is one of my favourite history writers. Her works are well researched and concisely written. Her book on the 1918 Spanish Flu is a masterpiece of medical history. I only wish I had bought the physical book rather than the audio version. While the narrator was pleasing enough, I found him somewhat condescending. Every quote from a female was read with a raised almost juvenile inflection. While this may not have been intentional it was none the less annoying. I highly recommend the book as it gives some great insight and comparison to COVID 19, however I'd suggest buying the physical book rather than this audible version.
