Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
In this vast and gorgeous tapestry of a novel, serf and master, Cossack and tsar, priest and Jew are brought together in a family saga which unrolls through centuries of history to reveal that most impenetrable and mysterious of lands - Russia. Through the life of a little town east of Moscow in the Russian heartland, Edward Rutherfurd creates a sweeping family saga from the baffling contradictions of Russia's culture and her peoples - bleak yet exotic, brutal but romantic, land of ritual yet riddled with superstitious fears.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 104
Imagine you could travel back to the 14th century. What would you see? What would you smell? More to the point, where are you going to stay? And what are you going to eat? Ian Mortimer shows us that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. He sets out to explain what life was like in the most immediate way, through taking you to the Middle Ages. The result is the most astonishing social history book you are ever likely to read: evolutionary in its concept, informative and entertaining in its detail.

This is the remarkable story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established global language. The Adventure of English is not only an enthralling story of power, religion, and trade, but also the story of people, and how their lives continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.

A generational journey through time
A tapestry of characters make for an interesting story. Having previously read the book, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the story, history and characters and loved the narrator’s interpretation of the characters.

Excellent background to a very intriguing City.
Having visited London many times this book gave some colour to the various landmarks. Written at a personal level such as to give a down to earth prospective.

Fascinating from start to finish
I really enjoyed Rutherford’s historic tale ambling through England’s history.
The narrator had an ideal voice for the book.
It was a pleasant, relaxing audiobook to listen too.

Good, but would rather read the book!
I love Edward Rutherford, having read The Forest. I think he is a very important writer, however I struggled to listen to this and would prefer to read the book

Amazing as always
Edward Rutherfurd didn’t disappoint, as always! Fantastic story line, great historical detail, colorful characters. Great narration too, though I did follow the advice of other readers and did 1.25 speed playback. It was great.

I cried because it ended
I have never been a huge book reader; not since I was a child, but this has ignited within me an insatiable hunger for literature specifically about history.
Rutherford's narrative style - to entertain with fiction whilst to not only educate but enthrall with fact - is the most enriching and inspiring story telling experience I have ever had.
This is is the first of his books that I have read and it is no question that I will purchase every other one.
Andrew Wincott may perhaps seem plain if one is not truly listening to his words, but he is utterly masterful.
He does not squeak, nor does he shout, but he emphasises, pauses and turns vocal corners with precision; painting the perfect film in a reader's head with naught but his voice.
I was most of all incredibly impressed with his range of accents. As the history of London is - so this book has taught me - overwhelmingly rich in it's variety of peoples, so was his ability to represent them all vocally.
I burst into tears when Andrew read that it was the end. I will be listening to this book many times yet.
Thank you. So much.
