Marcus Goldman, auteur d'un premier best-seller, est en panne d'inspiration. Quand il apprend que son mentor, le célèbre écrivain Harry Quebert, est le suspect numéro un d'un crime, il se précipite à son secours. Dans le jardin de Quebert, on a retrouvé le corps de Nola - 15 ans - serrant contre elle le manuscrit du roman d'amour que Quebert lui avait dédié. Devenu un best-seller, il avait fait la gloire de son auteur. L'histoire de Quebert devient alors le sujet romanesque que Marcus avait tant cherché.

Tas de clichés emballé dans un drame divertissant
Revisado: 09-21-24
Je suis anglophone et américain, et j’ai écouté ce livre surtout pour pratiquer mon français auprès d’un livre de fiction léger et amusant. Je ne me doutais pas que le livre se déroulerait en Amérique et serait pourtant pur soap-opera à la française. Les descriptions du pays et des personnages sont ridiculement invraisemblables et clichés, et pourtant, j’ai beaucoup aimé l’histoire avec toutes ces tournures à la fois inattendues et complètement prévisibles. Une fois qu’on admet que tout ça se déroule dans une amérique qui ne peut exister que dans l’imagination d’un européen, c’est beaucoup plus divertissant, et on se laisse sympathiser un peu aux personnages sans pouvoir s’y croire trop sérieusement.

Terrific overview of prehistoric hominids
- De Jim Nasium en 12-25-23
A pedantic and scattershot view of prehistory
Revisado: 06-26-24
I was severely disappointed in this lecture series, which promised an engaging overview of human prehistory and instead delivered a selective introduction to prehistoric archeology, focusing heavily on the teacher’s own academic work. The style oscillated between over- and under-explaining key concepts, and was more interested in methodology than narrative.
While I did learn some interesting new facts from this course, please look elsewhere if you’re looking for an updated narrative of human history before writing and agriculture. Maybe such a thing is unknowable, and what we think we know is subject to such controversy that only describing the evidence for various hypotheses is possible. But even so, it could have been presented in a more rhetorically skillful way.

Step back to Christianity's first three centuries to see how it transitioned from the religion of Jesus to a religion about Jesus. How did a single group from among many win the struggle for dominance to establish the beliefs central to the faith, rewrite the history of Christianity's internal conflicts, and produce a canon of sacred texts – the New Testament – that supported its own views?

An Objective History of Early Christianity

History with a protestant flair
Revisado: 04-03-20
I enjoyed listening to this overall, and found it quite informative, but I often felt like it was presented to a target audience of evangelical Christians, assuming familiarity with bible verses and certain assumptions about the nature of the church which not all Christians, and certainly not all listeners, will share. As a result I often had the uncomfortable feeling of eavesdropping on someone else’s Sunday School, when I really wanted a more highly contextualized and academic history. Still very much worth the listen you’re interested in the subject.

North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the 11 distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent....

Fascinating thesis less than thoughtfully developed
Revisado: 11-16-19
This book presents a provocative and interesting new way to conceptualize American history, in terms of a number of distinct and preserving cultural zones. I was looking forward to a nuanced historical reanalysis when I chose this book, and was somewhat disappointed to find the author painting his vision of American history in broad strokes, drawing on stereotypes and leaving it to the reader to fill in the gaps. It doesn’t help that the narrator’s sententious newscaster drone is peppered with cringey accented performances and botches Spanish and French words as they come up. All in all, however, a book worth reading for its thought-provoking qualities.

The word "barbarian" quickly conjures images of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan. Yet few people realize these men belong to a succession of nomadic warriors who emerged from the Eurasian steppes to conquer civilizations. It's a part of ancient and medieval history that's often overlooked, but for an accurate view of how the world evolved, it's essential. Covering some 6,000 miles and 6,000 years, this eye-opening course illuminates how a series of groups pushed ever westward, coming into contact with the Roman Empire, Han China, and distant cultures from Iraq to India.

Illuminating and entertaining, with a few mistakes
Revisado: 04-24-19
This is a wonderful and comprehensive overview of a corner of history that's rarely treated as a cohesive narrative. That said, as a historical linguist with some background knowledge I have some disclaimers about the content. There's a good deal of simplified and/or outdated information in here, such as the association of the Kushans with Tocharian-speaking peoples (they were called Tokharoi but spoke Bactrian) and the endorsement of the Altaic language family (Turkic and Monglic languages may not actually be related). Also, the only languages Professor Harl seems able to pronounce correctly are Latin and Turkish, but he sure makes up for it with his dramatic flair.
