Bloomsbury presents Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, read by Scott Brick.

You've seen the show, you've sung the songs, now read the full story of America's most misunderstood founding father.
'I was swept up by the story. I thought it 'out-Dickens' Dickens in the unlikeliness of this man's rise from his humble beginnings in Nevis in the Caribbean, to changing, helping shape our young nation. And it's uniquely an immigrant story and it's uniquely a story about writers... It's an amazing biography' LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

Alexander Hamilton was an illegitimate self-taught orphan from the Caribbean who overcame all the odds to become George Washington's aide-de-camp and the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.

Few figures in American history are more controversial than Alexander Hamilton. In this masterful work, Chernow shows how the political and economic power of America today is the result of Hamilton's willingness to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. He charts his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Monroe and Burr; his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds; his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza; and the notorious duel with Aaron Burr that led to his death in July 1804.©2017 Head of Zeus (P)2004 Penguin Random House LLC

Kritikerröster

A mammoth work of research that charted the course of Hamilton's dazzling career and the dark controversies that accompanied it
A magnificent biography
An elegantly written, richly detailed account of Hamilton's tempestuous life
Nobody has captured Hamilton better than Chernow
Chernow charts his way through Hamilton's hectic life, and the tumultuous times in which he lived, with aplomb
That biography is incredible. It out-Dickenses Charles Dickens (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
A brilliant recreation of the society and culture of the time: thoughtful and playful, moving and powerful (Michael Gove)
Alla stjärnor
Mest relevant
Obwohl sich Chernow der Figur Hamiltons - eine der schillerndsten und vor allem unterschätztesten der US Geschichte - mit quasi-wissenschaftlicher Präzision und Objektivität nähert, ist es ihm gelungen, eine sehr unterhaltsame Biograhpie zu liefern. Vor allem seine Gabe, wörtliche Zitate gekonnt einzubeziehen und damit eine ironische Distanz zu Hamilton und seinen Widersachern (Jefferson und Madison bekommen ihr Fett weg) herzustellen, ist selten zu finden. Sprachlich ist Chernow auf ganz hohem Niveau: präzis und totzdem äußert gewandt. Scott Brick liest sehr angenehm. Ich habe keine Minute der 36 Stunden bedauert.

Ungeahnt oher Unterhaltungswert
