Acerca de esta escucha

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Americas, then pay attention...

The one character trait that, sometimes, surpasses the human instinct for survival is curiosity. When humans discovered an entire hemisphere that lay beyond their own Eastern Hemisphere, the race was on.

What opportunities would these new lands hold? Surely, a small country in Europe could wield the power of an empire if it could claim these new lands in the Americas. After all, there was new fertile land in these Americas, the lure of wealth, the entertainment of exciting wildlife, productive vegetation, and the marvelous treasures that shone and glittered.

The cry for gold overcame all the people’s mortal fears. It echoed in 1528 in the search for the ethereal El Dorado, in 1632 in Venezuela, and in the frigid Yukon in 1896. The countries came and claimed and clashed as they tried to mix and meld. Instead, they found themselves caught in the dialectic of opposing sides - in a game of tug-of-war over acres of plains and pampas, sand and stones, mountains and mesas.

A must for history lovers.

I was looking for historical fiction and chose this audiobook based on a review. I have not inspected the facts or researched this era, but the author shares his knowledge of the historical record in an interesting description that sheds light on Charles the Great's persona and not just his accomplishments.

Good Work by the Author.

Never seen work like t his as it given the reputation of the author, it's probably good. Especially since it appears to show a lot of American History.

Historical Touchstone

Written engagingly, this audiobook is perfect for the listener who wants a good first look at Charles the Great. The author squanders no time in taking the listeners through the events that shaped the reign of the giant of the eighth century.

Charlemagne by Captivating History

As a lover of historical fiction, I absolutely enjoyed listening to this version of Charlemagne and his achievements. The writing style and the narrator was very compelling making it difficult to put aside for other activities.

Dive into the deep history.

It's a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time, but it helps pique the interest if you wanted to dive deeper.

Easy understanding & informative historical work.

This audiobook, though brief, was precisely what I look for in an audible. Exceptionally informative and without unnecessary details and assumptions that plague other biographies, this audible mainly sticks to historical writings and provides a fantastic opinion of the person of Charlemagne.
