Stonehenge (Dutch Edition)

About This Audiobook

Bernard Cornwell’s *Stonehenge* isn’t just a historical epic—it’s a raw, elemental tale of three brothers bound by duty and torn apart by ambition. Set in 2000 BC England, this isn’t some sanitized museum piece; it’s a brutal world where survival means sharpening axes, not just memorizing dates. Cornwell’s genius lies in making ancient rituals feel visceral, the landscape itself a character—mist-shrouded forests, sun-baked plains, and that cursed circle of stones looming like a promise or a threat. The Dutch edition, narrated by Ruben Brinkman, leans into the grit with a gravelly, no-nonsense delivery that matches the story’s unflinching tone. If you’ve ever wondered what it took to haul a 25-ton sarsen block with nothing but ropes and sheer desperation, this audiobook won’t just tell you—it’ll make you *feel* the strain in your shoulders. Cornwell’s research is thorough, but he never lets fact drown fiction. Here, history isn’t a backdrop; it’s the storm these men are trying to outrun—or harness—for their own ends. The rivalry between the warrior, the mage, and the stone-shaper isn’t just personal; it’s a clash of ideologies, where one man’s god is another’s superstition. Brinkman’s performance ensures you’ll hear the difference in their voices, from the guttural growls of the warrior to the whispered incantations of the so-called sorcerer. This is historical fiction as it should be: unapologetic, immersive, and alive with the stink of sweat and dirt.
