À propos de ce contenu audio

The fifth novel in Bernard Cornwell’s epic and bestselling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

BBC2’s major Autumn 2015 TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is based on the first two books in the series.

In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity…

First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde, who is encouraged to cruelty by his woman, Skade. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were ever to suffer.

This novel, the fifth in the magnificent series of England's history tells of the final assaults on Alfred's Wessex, that Wessex survived to become England is because men like Uhtred defeated an enemy feared throughout Christendom.

Commentaires

"Cornwell draws a fascinating picture of England as it might have been before anything like England existed." (The Times)

I was deeply disappointed by the change of narrator for the last kingdom series. Mr. Keeble was absolutely perfect. He made you feel as you were in the shield wall with Uthred. The new narrator changed all the names, which is quite annoying, and he does not have the same energy. But the greatest gap is in the fighting scenes, where it sounds too flat and bored when compared to keeble.
I loved the content of the book, but i wished the author would take more care of who narrates his books!

where is Keeble?
