À propos de cet audio
From the international bestselling author of Fatherland and Munich, a gripping mystery and a fascinating cautionary tale.
"All civilizations consider themselves invulnerable; history warns us that none is."
1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a remote English village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artefacts—coins, fragments of glass, human bones—which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death?
As Fairfax is drawn more deeply into the isolated community, everything he believes—about himself, his faith and the history of his world—is tested to destruction.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“It should be enough that Robert Harris, in his earlier books, makes the lives of Cicero and Caesar even more fascinating, and brings to vivid life the citizens of ancient Rome and 1930’s Munich. With The Second Sleep he cracks open The Time To Come, making his new book a barnburner, leaving the reader wanting only one thing: more, please.” (Tom Hanks)
“In the tradition of A Canticle for Leibowitz, Harris presents an extraordinary and terrifyingly plausible vision of a post-technological future, a novel that’s at once an adventure story and a meditation on truth and faith. You’ll never look at your iPhone in quite the same way again.” (Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven)
“Stunning new thriller.... Surprises to the very end. Furthermore, as a highly inventive piece of dystopian fiction, it’s been winning comparisons with Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.” (Jamie Portman, National Post)

well read
The narrator really did a great job. The book was referred to me because of all that is going on in the world its a bit relatable with Covid going around. It is based in the future after an Apocolypse . I dont usually go for this type of story but I did really enjoy it 👌

a clever idea wasted
a gripping start and excellent storytelling created a promising situation and interesting characters. .but ultimately the plot was disappointing and left unresolved
