The Time Keeper

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Dan Stevens

From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours.

The man who became Father Time.

In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and 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 hour-counting 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.

Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

Albom always has a lesson to share

I love Mitch Albom and the way he writes and the messages he has to share. This book does have a good message though I felt this one was not as effective as his others have been. The narrator was excellent and his voice for each character was perfect. It is a short book and certainly well worth the time.

beautiful story but predictable.

combines, Bible, historical fiction and mild romance under a talented voice to hold you until the end.

perfect

Loved the book can't elaborate without giving away the plot a must read. Started it in one day and finished it in 1 day could not put the book down

Beautiful

Loved this book. I had it on my list for a long time and finally listened to it. It is a prospective on time and on our lives which is touching and worth the listen.

Short But Sweet!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this little book--the story was simple, but very well written. And the narration was excellent. It's a short one, but well worth the listen!

Pleasant Read - Mitch Albom Touch

After having read a few thrillers and crime Genre , back to Albom and it did not disappoint. Initially was wondering how the 3 stories would meet and , meet it did - in the most fascinating manner.

Fascinating!

Mitch Albom's perspective of time and it's influence on the human experience/condition is enlightening, refreshing and at the same time troubling. One must take pause to consider if this story is truly fiction or non-fiction.
Thank you Mitch. You have quite the Blessed talent.
