À propos de ce contenu audio

Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here 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.

These multimillion-copy best sellers are stirringly read by Kevin Pariseau for their first appearance in downloadable audio.

Commentaires

"Brilliant…. An outstanding novel and at the same time a great work of history…. Wouk has more than recaptured the period; he has given it life." (Henry Kissinger)
"Those who lived through World War II can most fully appreciate the resonances in this uncommonly readable book. But it is clearly meant – and recommended – for those who did not." ( Time)
"Moving, thrilling fiction…. Wouk is a magnificent storyteller." ( Boston Globe)

Le plus pertinent
This is truly a sweeping account of the second world war from a very American point of view.
I think it is the perfect novel for the youth to engage in this topic.

However, for older viewers, some negative aspects become more apparent. For example, the protagonists lack psychological depth and the portrayal of certain countries and mentalities are too stereotypical to take seriously.

I can’t blame the author. It is simply impossible to understand the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians etc., in terms of cultural history.

The portrayal of the Germans and Russians was especially stereotypical.

There are some protagonists I really struggled to identify with especially Rhoda or Natalie.


Then again, I truly enjoyed listening to it. It is the perfect audiobook and I don’t think I would have read both volumes otherwise.

Too old for five stars
