The Lion

A Novel of Ancient Greece

De: Conn Iggulden

Narrado por: Tim McInnerny

The new novel in master storyteller Conn Iggulden's bestselling series tells the story of Pericles amid the battlefields of the Peloponnesian War.

After the gods, after the myths and legends, came the world of men—and in the front rank stood Pericles.

Enter Pericles—the Lion of Athens. Behind him lies the greatest city of the ancient world. Before him stands the ferocious Persian army. Both sides are spoiling for war.

But Pericles knows one thing: to fight a war you must first win the peace.

It’s time for a hero to rise. For his enemies to tremble. And for a city to shine like a beacon . . .

Great historical fiction

Conn Iggulden never disappoints. His storyline combined with historical accuracy makes for a good read/listen.

Questionable Narration

I enjoy the narrator of the previous 2 books more.. My main criticism with this narrator is the voice of Pericles which is indicative of a weak, confused & hapless boy.

Riveting story

I like Conn Iggulden’s writing. He is a great storyteller. He whisks you into his world as if you are there watching.

Mr Iggulden does it again

I have always loved history and this story fleshes so much of it out.

Fantastic and Entertaining

Conn Iggulden does it again! I couldn't put this one down. He builds really well on the previous books in the series and develops the story very well. This book draws you into the timeframe and makes you a part od the story. Fantastic read!
