À propos de ce contenu audio

 A BRAND NEW TRILOGY from the author of the legendary WITCHER series, set during the vibrantly depicted Hussite wars.

Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife.

With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order.

The 'patients' of this institution form an incomparable gallery of colourful types: including, among others, the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of the heliocentric solar system.

This is the first in an epic new series from the phenomenon, ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI, author of the WITCHER books

Praise for Andrzej Sapkowski:

'Like Mieville and Gaiman, Sapkowski takes the old and makes it new' FOUNDATION

'Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discourse and dry humour. Recommended' TIME Action et aventure Fantasy Historique

Commentaires

Sapkowski's love for the period is clear as he touches on notorious historical events and figures, including the Defenestration of Prague and printing press inventor Johannes Gutenberg. The carefully painted landscapes and intricate politics, meanwhile, effortlessly draw readers into Reinmar's life and times. This is historical fantasy done right
A ripping yarn delivered with world-weary wit, bursting at the seams with sex, death, magic and madness
A well-crafted mix of historical fiction and fantasy with engaging characters, a tight plot and a unique setting
A bloody but satisfying picaresque

Le plus pertinent
Andrej Sapkowski is well know and has mastered the art of fantasy in a medieval setting, the book is also sure to teach you quite a bit about history or at least refresh certain notions, as everything in the story follows the event of the hussites wars. The main character while not learning the same lessons over and over, which is a bit annoying at times is very attaching and the magic / monsters are not as omnipresent as in the witcher series.
The voice actor, Peter Kenny, is really amazing, not only does he plunges you in the story, have quite different speaking maneurisms and voice accents for each character, but he also sings, speaks recitate passages of the bible and other sayings in latin like it is english ( very naturally I mean) but he also sings in latin!!!! I mean what more can you ask of a voice actor ??

Easily the best narrator/voice actor ever
