Download The Secret Chord: A Novel AudioBook Free
A abundant and utterly absorbing book about the life of Ruler David, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of People of the Publication and March. With an increase of than two million copies of her books sold, New York Times best-selling creator Geraldine Brooks has achieved both popular and critical acclaim. Now, Brooks takes on one of literature's richest & most enigmatic figures: a man who shimmers between record and star. Peeling away the misconception to bring David alive in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his voyage from obscurity to popularity, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from precious king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage. The Hidden knowledge Chord provides new context for a few of the best-known shows of David's life while also focusing on others, even more impressive and emotionally strong, which may have been neglected. We see David through the eyes of those who love him or fear him - from the prophet Natan, tone of his conscience; to his wives, Mikal, Avigail, and Batsheva; and finally to Solomon, the late-born child who redeems his Lear-like old age. Brooks comes with an uncanny ability to hear and transform characters from history, and this superbly written, unvarnished saga of beliefs, desire, family, ambition, betrayal, and electricity will enthrall her many enthusiasts.
