Trinity

De: Leon Uris

Narrado por: John Keating

Leon Uris’s beloved Irish classic

From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost - a magnificent portrait of a people divided by class, faith, and prejudice - an unforgettable saga of the fires that devastated a majestic land...and the unquenchable flames that burn in the human heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Leon Uris uses history as the raw material for legend in his powerful novel Trinity, a tale packed with romance and adventure." (Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin)

"The story has a kind of relentless power, based on the real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris’s achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy." (New York Times Book Review)

"An honest Irish story, emotional, full of...tales of Irish heroes and fools, of God, fear and superstition, of love and hatred, poverty and greed." (San Diego Union-Tribune)

Heartbreaking in the best way

Prepare yourself to fall in love, and mourn the death of the fictional men you cannot help but be proud of.

Great book. Great story.

This was a fabulous book. The characters were terrific and the story compelling.

I hope there will be an unabridged version to its sequel “Redemption” soon.

Thanks.

Blessed be the plight of the Irish people

Uris is a monster writer, and this his masterpiece! I loved this book as much as my Dad told me I would.

The Irish

Thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Irish catholics... better Understanding of their battle for recognition and freedom.

The words live

The narration the best ever. I love audio books but this the best of all!

Finally!!

One of the all time great historical fiction epics and with good narration. Not to be missed.

5 Stars Across the Board!

I first read Trinity more than 40 years ago. I loved this sweeping epic so much that I purposed to name my son (if one came), after the book's main character, Conor Larkin. I had to wait until 1994 to get it done but I have my own "Conor", (that's one "N" after the Irish derivative), running around.
I am a huge Uris fan ... always have been. Trinity, while not his most famous book, is certainly on a scale with Exodus and The Haj. It is a big sprawling saga set against 200 years of Ireland's troubled history. We follow the family Larkin through several generations, many exploits and romance. The reader of this audio book is first class, almost putting you in the scene as he weaves his voice in and out of the characters.
If you're looking for a quick, light read or, feel like you have to be on the edge of your seat every moment, you should probably pass. This is a big, hefty story with historical backdrops and it is to be savored ... not gulped.

A gripping epic, exceedingly well told

Leon Uris does "epic" exceedingly well - and John Keating's narration is up to the task. Trinity tells the injustice of Irish history from potato famine to the Easter Rising in 1916 - some sixty years worth told first and foremost through the eyes of Conor Larkin - from boyhood onward - but the cast is as vast as is the scope and insight into everything that took place, and all of the scheming of the WHY it took place. Protestant reign is the visible front of everything that keeps the Irish down - but in the end all that's there, and that includes the incendiary priests, is just about good old power and thus, wealth. All of it, from then to today, remains an infuriating story of injustice. Uris goes off on any number of historical excursions in this book - but the main narrative thread is strong and compelling.

Trinity

An exceptional story superbly presented. admired it greatly. I highly recommend this book. Over the years this is the fourth time I've read/listened to it.

A tragic story of Irish patriots…

…and their struggle to free themselves of the yoke of British colonial dominance. “Irish history has no future. Just a past played over and over.” Many books tell the story of IRA terror from the British perspective. Trinity provides context to understand Ireland’s freedom fighters.
