À propos de cet audio
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the number-one national best seller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials.
It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death.
The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic.
As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story - the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Gripping
Loved the book so much. So fascinating to learn the details of an iconic historical event. I especially liked the greater context shared, such as the political and social climates that preceded and came after the events. The narrator was excellent, she indicated subtly with tone when there was a quotation and added life to the story.
