In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle East conflict.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fascinating...stunning...[a] wonderful rampage through history...Biblical history, as seen through the eyes of a professor who is puzzled, appalled, delighted, enriched and impoverished by the spectacle of a land where all men are archeologists." ( The New York Times)
"A sweeping [novel] filled with excitement - pagan ritual, the clash of armies, ancient and modern: the evolving drama of man's faith." ( The Philadelphia Inquirer)
"Magnificent...a superlative piece of writing both in scope and technique...one of the great books of this generation." ( San Francisco Call Bulletin)

I have been waiting for the Michener books to be added to Audible. I read The Source 20 years ago & forgot how detailed & relevant it still is. I concur that o wished for a different narrator - but good enough to stick with it for 50+ hours!

Finally!

This book thrilled and moved me until the end. McKeever isn't so bad at x1.35.

A Masterpiece

What didn’t you like about Larry McKeever’s performance?

Where did he learn to read? never heard real human voice? Grew up with robots in space ship or what??? it almost sounds comical, which is a huge distraction from the book. He also does not know what punctuation are. I HAVE NO COURAGE TO LISTEN TO MORE MICHENER BOOKS BECAUSE OF HIM! PLEASE, AUDIBLE, DROP HIM!

Gripping story, mind-blowingly terrible narrator

the story itself is excellent but the reader goes so darn slow it's impossible to keep my interest. pick up the pace, man!

good story, read too darn slow!

I read this book decades ago and had been looking forward to a refresher. The narrator's dry delivery is only slightly more animated than a text-to-speech bot. I have almost 50 hours to go, sigh.
Update, down to 33 hours left. There are glitches in the recording I've never experienced from other downloads, I think they bought the rights from Books on Tape, and just went tape to digital without listening to it.

Narration is terrible. He should read recipes

Terrific historical and philosophical tractat. Highly recommended for everyone who is interested in joining a reflective journey through millennia in search of the source of spiritual oneness of humanity.

Facinating! Thought provoking. Illuminating.
