À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

'From what is it they flee?'
He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, 'They killed the King.'

1660, General Edward Whalley and Colonel William Goffe, father- and son-in-law, cross the Atlantic. They are on the run and wanted for the murder of Charles I. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, they have been found guilty in absentia of high treason.

In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is tasked with tracking down the fugitives. He'll stop at nothing until the two men are brought to justice. A reward of £100 hangs over their heads - for their capture, dead or alive.

ACT OF OBLIVION is an epic journey across continents, and a chase like no other. It is the thrilling new novel by Robert Harris.

    One of Harris's most compellingly paced to date . . . it is his best since Fatherland
    Act of Oblivion is a belter of a thriller. It will be compulsive reading for those who loved An Officer and a Spy, Harris's book about the Dreyfus affair. Like that novel, the research is immaculate. A chewy, morally murky slice of history is made into a thriller that twists and surprises. The characters are strong and we care about their predicament. The story stretches over continents and years, but the suspense feels as taut as if the three main characters were locked in a room with a gun.
    Act of Oblivion is a fine novel about a divided nation, about invisible wounds that heal slower than visible ones . . . it feels like an important book for our particular historical moment, one that shows the power of forgiveness and the intolerable burden of long-held grudges
    Harris's books are always supremely readable - he has practically trademarked the term 'master storyteller' (Alex Preston)
    [Harris] writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match
    A lightning-quick thriller, the tension cranked right up throughout, and Harris' 17th century New England is so real you can almost smell it (Tim Weaver, author of BLACKBIRD)
    Harris (Munich) again turns a historical event into a canny page-turner. . . Harris humanizes the hunter and the hunted, and brings to life an obscure chapter in colonial American history. This further burnishes Harris's reputation as a talented author of historical suspense
    Gripping . . . Thoroughly enjoyable. . . . [This} deeply researched story is the author's brilliant reimagining of real historical events, with sympathetic characters and a compelling plot
    Harris's cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none (Dominic Sandbrook)
    The master of the intelligent thriller

    Le plus pertinent
    Chasse à l'homme dans les années 1660 dans l'Amérique des Pilgrims et en Angleterre après la guerre civile, sur fond d'histoire vraie reconstituée partiellement. Impossible de s'arrêter de lire. Le narrateur est également exceptionnel. J'adore la voix prise pour Richard Nayler. Je suis étonné d'être le 1er à évaluer ce titre et une traduction en français serait la bienvenue. Si un film est fait au cinéma, je n'en doute pas, ça fera un carton.

    Superbe histoire parfaitement racontée.
