Resumen del Editor

"A tour de force...London tracks the history of the English capital from the days of the Celts until the present time.... Breathtaking." - The Orlando Sentinel

Here is Edward Rutherfurd's classic novel of London, a glorious pageant spanning 2,000 years. He brings this vibrant city's long and noble history alive through the ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of half-a-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the 20th century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the world.

Great Historical Novel ! Learn and be entertained

What a bargain - over 49 hours of history with a cast of entertaining characters. While most characters were fictionalized, their lives, conduct, emotions, and motives were consistent with my over 60 years experience. How Mr. Rutherford ties the characters together over the span of almost 2,000 years - he is a craftsman. The story very complex, yet could be followed and always fascinating. I like entertaining learning and the book LONDON, educates in the history of London in a very entertaining way. Narrator Mr. Wincott - excellent.

So glad the author has other books that I can enjoy.

Great for history and archaeology lovers!

If you are at all interested in London and it's history, you should read this book. Following generations of fictional families through non-fictional events and time periods allows for a very enjoyable review of London and its mixture of people. The only thing I would have liked more was if the author spent a little more time on certain historical events and periods. Some lasted a lot longer than others in the book. The voice was pretty good, but really only had one for women, but that's understandable since it's a man speaking.

Makes History Come Alive

This is a wonderful history of London. The reader is excellent. He does a wonderful job of performing voices that fit the characters. If you enjoy English history I would highly recommend this book. I’ve enjoyed all the books by this author. He does an excellent job of weaving interesting story lines into the history and creating characters that you really care about.

Amazing

The characters, the history.. it’s truly genius the way the family stories moved forward through thousands of years and yet they stayed fluid and clear. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute!

My one small critique of the narrator is that he is awful at female voices. They were either childlike or high pitch whispers. Not good.

Excellent book.

Wonderful work. The historical facts were well researched and I really enjoyed it. For the most part, the reader did a good job. I felt like he was prepared. However he resorted to whispering when he wanted to take on the voice of somebody else in the conversation. It was absolutely annoying except for the times the situation called for being surreptitious.
About halfway through I felt it started to drag. The stories had become rather repetitive. But all in all I would read this author again and recommend him.

This story was my long time companion

What a wonderful story. I have been reading his books since Sarum came out and this is one of my favorites. The narrator is very good with the variety of dialects, though his female voices just sound breathy.
