An Eagle in the Snow

De: Michael Morpurgo

Narrado por: Paul Chequer

The powerful new novel from the master storyteller – inspired by the true story of one man who might have stopped World War II.

1940. The train is under attacks from German fighters. In the darkness, sheltering in a railway tunnel, the stranger in the carriage with Barney and his mother tells them a story to pass the time.

And what a story. The story of a young man, a young soldier in the trenches of World War I who, on the spur of the moment, had done what he thought was the right thing.

It turned out to have been the worst mistake he ever could have made – a mistake he must put right before it is too late…

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Brilliant, fascinating and intriguing. Historical fiction at its most magnificent.” Jackie French

“Handled with Morpurgo's usual zip and feeling.” The Sunday Times

“Has the feel of a classic already: quality storytelling.” The Irish Times

“Gripping stuff, the only snag is that the reader is likely to be so engrossed that all hopes of convivial company for Christmas will have to be abandoned until they've finished the last chapter.” Evening Echo (Ireland)

Gripping!!!

This amazing story pulls you in at the very beginning and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the twisting end. Well done, Michael Morpurgo! Starting with a thread of historical fact and weaving in his own imagination, he has crafted quite a thrilling tale. I highly recommend this book. And the narrator added another dimension with his great British accent. Listen! I GUARANTEE you will LOVE this audio book!!!

Stunning and Staggering

I want to know the full truth of this story - simply captivating yet staggering - was it meant to be or not?
