À propos de cette écoute

Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely ambitious Century trilogy. On its own or in sequence with Fall of Giants and Edge of Eternity, this is a spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal drama during World War II.

A Battle of Ideals
It is 1933 and, at Cambridge, Lloyd Williams is drawn to irresistible socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything that his left-wing family despise. But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert, a leader in the British Union of Fascists.

An Evil Uprising
Berlin is in turmoil. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Many are resolved to oppose Hitler’s brutal regime – but are they willing to betray their country?

A Global Conflict on a Scale Never Seen Before
Shaken by the tyranny and the prospect of war, the lives of five families become ever more enmeshed. As an international clash of military power and personal beliefs sweeps the world, what will this new war mean for those who must live through it?

Continue the captivating Century Trilogy with Edge of Eternity.

    Commentaires

    "This book is peopled by excellent characters, both lovable and detestable, and I , along with millions of other Follett fans I’m sure – can’t wait for the third instalment of his Century trilogy to appear." (Shropshire Star)

    Prenant et très bien lu. Attention cependant certains passages ont été coupés ou bien l'enregistrement saute à plusieurs reprises, notamment au cours de la dernière scène.
    En ce qui concerne la structure, on navigue de façon incroyablement fluide entre les années et les personnages que tout séparé et qui sont pourtant si liés. Merci !

    This was a brilliant performance by John Lee and a great novel.
    One small question: why did Walter von Ulrich speak with a German accent in this second volume? This was not the case in volume 1.

    great

    I enjoyed that book. The narrator was very good, even though the accents were a bit off track. I liked the story as well, my favorite parts were the ones involving volodya and Carla. Can't wait to read the sequel!

    A great historical adventure

    A good fly through the main developments of the period. The intertwined caracters and families represent different perspectives, though I found that much more clumsy and overstated in this book compared to the first. Some representations were unexpected and interesting, worth looking up. The political descriptions were always interesting and rich. But... the sentimental stuff is really bad! The main description of caracters (especially women - except one descripted as rather ugly and that never even speaks though close to her main caracter!) is "sexy", which, apart from being rather annoying, seems like quite an anachronism at that level of use. The (many) sex scenes are ridiculous, very much man-Fantasie. They are only topped by every single detail regarding pregnancy, birth (omg those scenes!!) and motherhood, for which apparently the author did not bother to do any research.
    The reading was ok, though the accents of the reader often seem very random. One fat mistake bothered me though, and it goes throughout the entire book - he mispronounced Gestapo, how can that happen in such a story?!
    In short: I can recommend the book for the history lesson, but the sentimental clumsyness of the too-male writing really put me off. I enjoyed the first book better and will probably not buy the third.

    Great history but feable feelings
