Magnificent character development!

Revisado: 03-20-24

Whereas in the “World without end “, surnames, and craft guilds became standardized, amidst the backdrop of the bubonic plague, “A column of fire” ushered in early modern Europe through means of the ongoing slaughters of the Protestant Reformation. Follett’s mastery brings to vivid life, the multi dimensional horrors of this period.

Magnificent character development!

Revisado: 01-08-24

Ken Follett epitomizes the noted Welsh literary traditions of fiery passion and of brilliant story telling. I wept for joy when Ragnar was reunited with her Elan, when Dreng’s Ferry became Kingsbridge, the title of Follett’s series, when Edgar became ennobled and when he and Ragnar were wed, at last, after what seems to have been many lifetimes of agonizing, tortuous early medieval obfuscations.

How gratifying that the evil Winston got his just rewards, passing his final days among indigents, many of whom, infectious lepers.

I can hardly wait to continue relishing the other books in this series; thank you, Ken Follett, for your magnificent work!!!

Stunning character development!

Revisado: 12-25-23

I, very much, enjoyed the author’s wondrous creativity. The assiduous details of day to day life, surrounding key points in early nineteenth century Britain, made me feel as though I were watching these events unfold!

The magnificent scholarship

Revisado: 12-12-23

The author elegantly offers spectacular vistas through deep time through which hitherto unrealized interrelationships can be apprehended and savored.

Enthralling!

Revisado: 11-22-23

Although this three part series is atypical Clive Barker, the author’s talents continue to shine through each of the enigmatic characters of his well Spring of creativity. I can hardly wait for additional books in this series!

Darwin’s classic still reigns supreme!

Revisado: 02-17-23

In addition to the elucidation of his irrefutable “descent with modification “ concept, Darwin’s superlative use of the English language, enhanced greatly by narrator selected for this audio recording, causes this work to be nothing short of a pure delight!

An excellent read

Revisado: 12-24-22

Although, as a long time fan of “heroic age” explorations , I had originally purchased this title on the promise of “gruesome suffering”, the previously untold story of heroism, of Bering, moreover of the redemption of naturalist, Steller, who had shed both entitlement and privilege to evolve into a highly compassionate physician, and minister, is, alone, worth the “price of admission “.

Among the most delightful tales of resilience and perseverance!

Revisado: 05-23-15

Jean M. Auel is a brilliant scholar as well as a master craftsman writer. Her assiduous reseaech, which included not only travel and intensive study, but also experience based survival techniques, made possible her characters, to navigate their ancient landscapes. Although I have listened to each of the six books in Auel's Earth Children series innumerable times, I invariably glean new insights as well as abundant joy through each "read".
