À propos de ce contenu audio

A masterpiece of historical fiction, this is the Great Novel of America's "Greatest Generation".

Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

Also listen to War and Remembrance.

    "Wouk's real genius lies not just in the narrative power of his books, but in his empathy with the people and the times of which he writes…. The genius of The Winds of War and War and Remembrance is that they not only tell the story of the Holocaust, but tell it within the context of World War II, without which there is no understanding it." ( The Washington Post)

    If I was any younger, I would have given this book a five star rating. It is a sweeping account of the second world war and very entertaining.
    But when one becomes a bit older, one realizes also the faults of this account. For example, it is very often superficial when explaining Germany or Italy, using downtrodden clichés and extreme generalizations.

    The narrator does a fantastic job except us mimicking, German or Italian accents, which I find a little bit comical.

    The protagonists also lack depth but this allows the reader to see him or herself in the story.

    But again, it is very entertaining, but not on the level of let’s say “Stalingrad” by Grossman.

    Very American but entertaining
