The Time Keeper

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Dan Stevens

In this stunning new novel, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure time. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more years for themselves. At last, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.

He returns to our world - now dominated by the obsession with time he so innocently began - and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.

Gripping, simply told and filled with deep human truth, this unforgettable story will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

Engaging and thought provoking

In our fast paced world where our existence is controlled by technological devices, Mitch Albom reminds us that a quality life is a noble goal. Treasure each moment as if it’s the only and last!

Deep and thought provoking concept.

What does Dan Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He's by far my fave narrator for the warmth and expressiveness of his voice. Could listen to him all day!

Any additional comments?

Mitch writes another outstanding story which is deeply moving, thought provoking, and stays with you long after the story ends. I wish he'd write 3 books a year!

Mitch does it once more

A mystical experience described in fantasy land. Is thought provoking and make us consider the importance of present moment living. The narrative is woven with painful stories but it all works out well in the end. It the epilogue that brings it altogether
