My review of Edward Rutherfurd's book, "China."Music © by Capazunda.

Edward Rutherfurd is the author of epic works of historical fiction including London, Russka, The Dublin Saga, and the new novel, China. We spoke with him about how he finds the right scale for his enormous books and when one of the many projects he has simmering is ready to be fleshed out into a manuscript of many hundreds of pages. And he shared with us his perspective on how he confronts the challenge of getting inside the minds of characters who would have lived centuries ago and half a world away. Hear more from Kobo in Conversation.

In this playful episode with the novelist Edward Rutherfurd, we venture east and back to the mid-nineteenth-century. By 1839 Chinese patience with the British-run opium trade was running thin. Rutherfurd explains how a confrontation between the ancient, proud and insular Chinese and the merchant adventurers of the West had become inevitable and how, had he the chance, he would have tried to stop it. Edward Rutherfurd is one of Britain's great authors. Over the past 40 years he has written eight bestsellers, including his epic novel Sarum, which spent 23 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Rutherfurd's latest book, China, engages with the historical context we explore in this episode. As ever, much, much more about this episode is to be found at our website tttpodcast.com. Show notes Scene One: June, 1839. Chinese Commissioner Lin burns thousands of chests of opium confiscated from British (and also American) merchants. This sets off the famous Opium Wars that so profoundly affect the attitude of China towards the West to this day. Scene Two: October, 1839. The engagement of Victoria and Albert at Windsor Castle. Scene Three: The following morning, October, 1839. Windsor Castle with all the newly-purchased equipment to make a Daguerrotype photograph. Memento: An egg boiled by Warren Delano during the siege of the 'factories' at Canton.

Edward Rutherfurd returns to the Festival with his latest bestseller, China: The Novel, for a conversation with Janet Somerville, author, educator and reviewer of Historical Fiction for the Toronto Star. Edward Rutherfurd has enthralled millions of readers with his grand, sweeping historical sagas that tell the history of a famous place over multiple generations. Now, in China: The Novel, Rutherfurd takes readers into the rich and fascinating milieu of the Middle Kingdom. The story begins in 1839, at the dawn of the First Opium War, and follows Chinese history through Mao's Cultural Revolution and up to the present day. Rutherfurd chronicles the rising and falling fortunes of members of Chinese, British, and American families, as they negotiate the tides of history. Along the way, in his signature style, Rutherfurd provides a deeply researched portrait of Chinese history and society, its ancient traditions and great upheavals, and China's emergence as a rising global power. As always, we are treated to romance and adventure, heroines and scoundrels, grinding struggle and incredible fortunes. From Shanghai to Nanking to the Great Wall, China: The Novel, chronicles the turbulent rise and fall of empires as the colonial West meets the opulent and complex East in a dramatic struggle between cultures and people.

In a sweeping historical novel, Edward Rutherfurd tells the story of China in the nineteenth century; from the opium wars to the Boxer Rebellion and how it leads to the tragic events of the twentieth century and the attitude of China towards the rest of the world today.

Audiobooks (Part 1) with Caroline Lennon, Patrick Moy & Natalie Chisholm: Caroline (who played Siobhan Hathaway in The Archers on BBC Radio 4), Patrick and Natalie, all audiobook narrators and actors (and in Natalie's case a producer too), reveal to We’d Like A Word presenters Paul Waters and Stevyn Colgan the secrets of audiobook narration and how they make your writing sound good. Part 1 is all Natalie. Natalie Chisholm, aka Redhead Voiceover, narrates classic short stories by Elizabeth Gaskell, Clara Venn and Oscar Wilde for B7 Media. She also has her own home studio for proper "punch and roll" recording - helped by her BBC presenting and producing background. In the other episodes we hear from Caroline Lennon - she's famous for playing the scarlet-haired temptress Siobhan Hathaway who has an affair with Brian Aldridge in The Archers on BBC Radio 4, so she takes questions from our audience on what happened on set and why she left. She also talks about the 350+ unabridged audiobooks she has narrated. 350! They include books by Brian McGilloway, Hannah Kent, Jane Casey, Maeve Binchy, Anne Enright, Peter Tremayne, Graham Masterton, Hannah Hauxwell and many many more. Caroline tells us about the only author who should be allowed to narrate their own books (only one), how she does it herself, discusses political extremes and representation. We also hear from Patrick Moy (aka Patrick Doddy) who has narrated about 50 unabridged audiobooks, including Blackwatertown by Paul Waters (hurrah!), and books by Hilary Mantel, Catherine Doyle, Fintan O'Toole, Paul Murray, JP Donleavy, Helen Cullen, Eoin Colfer, Ian Cobain, Edward Rutherfurd, John Chambers, Jim Hutton and Tim Wapshott. Plus stories of Freddie Mercury backstage and theatrical disasters. We also bring in authors Barbara Copperthwaite, Sue Jones, Joanne Frost Johnson, Monica Ali, Hallie Rubenhold and actors David Tennant, Rula Lenska and Andrew Scott. We'd Like A Word is a podcast and radio show from authors Paul Waters and Stevyn Colgan. We talk with writers, readers, editors, agents, celebrities, talkers, poets, publishers, booksellers, audiobook creators about books - fiction and non-fiction. We go out on various radio and podcast platforms. Our website is www.wedlikeaword.com - which is where you'll find information about Paul and Steve and our guests. We're also on Twitter @wedlikeaword and Facebook @wedlikeaword and our email is wedlikeaword@gmail.com - and yes, we are slightly embarrassed by the missing apostrophes.

(Yes, it's the one about when Freddie Mercury tried Stevyn Colgan's helmet on for size and Patrick Moy crash landed into the scenery.) With excerpts of Patrick reading from Blackwatertown (by Paul Waters) and Rula Lenska reading from A Murder To Die For (by Stevyn Colgan - includes teeth being sunk into a scotum).

Tips para conquistar Londres pueden haber muchos, dependiendo del interés de tu viaje. Puedes hacer un recorrido cultural a esta gran ciudad, o ir a sus pubs. Una de las ciudades más turísticas y digna de sacar muchas fotos en especial con su ícono el Big Ben.Londres, quizás mi ciudad favorita, es la más grande de Europa occidental y del Reino Unido. Con miles de años de historia, Londres es testigo de muchos acontecimientos. Para saber más de su historia, les recomiendo lean en la novela London de Edward Rutherfurd.tipsParaConquistarLondresDecía Samuel Johnson que el hombre que se cansa de Londres, es un hombre que se cansa de la vida. Una ciudad con origen Celta, conquistada por Romanos, invadida por vikingos. Ha sobrevivido fuego, plagas, de todo, y continúa siendo uno de los lugares más importantes del planeta y es la segunda ciudad con mayor migración después de NYC.¿A dónde ir?Hay muchas cosas para hacer en Londres, si quieren salir de lo típico de listados de lugares turísticos, chequen la app de National Trust. En cuestión de eventos, recordemos que Londres es una megaciudad AAA, con miles de cosas para realizar, pero no se preocupen, porque hay una app llamada YPlan que te filtra por precio y tipo de lugar y evento para hacer algo más movido y diferente.¿Cómo moverme?La verdad es que en Londres, si es su primera vez, el transporte público puede ser confuso, por eso en lugar de google maps bajen Citymapper q te indica más claro cómo llegar a un lugar según el transporte, que de hecho si quieren rentar bicis también está la app de Santander Cycles. Por cierto, los blackcabs son caros aunque igual es bueno tomar uno para conocer la experiencia. Sin embargo, recomiendo que usen Uber o Kabbee y recomienden a su acompañante, y ambos tendrán crédito gratis. Si están caminando y quieren saber qué pasó en su ubicación, bajen VoiceMap y los London Audio Walking Tours que te dice la historia de acuerdo a tu ubicación de gps. Es de android. Si les gusta correr, hay una app especial para Londres que se llama Zombies Run y te “premia” por correr como si estuvieras escapando de los zombies.+info http://8ymedia.com/pakbak/tips-viajar-conquistar-londres/6406

Ou Sinopses “Alert!”[1] Valesi: Londres, o Romance, de Edward Rutherfurd: Sinopse:Londres, uma das maiores e mais importantes capitais do mundo, tornou-se protagonista de um livro que faz justiça à sua fama e à sua História. Londres, o romance é a saga viva dessa cidade grandiosa. Tudo começa com a chegada dos romanos, que derrotam o povo das ilhas britânicas e, onde havia apenas um povoado, fundam a cidade de Londinium. A aventura do crescimento e da evolução daquele vilarejo chega até os nossos dias através da vida de personagens memoráveis, como Julius, fabricante romano de moedas, que arrisca sua vida para encontrar um tesouro enterrado; Dame Barnikel, dona da taverna freqüentada pelo poeta Geoffrey Chaucer e seus peregrinos; Geoffrey Ducket, fundador de uma importante família da nobreza; Edmund Meredith e os atores da companhia de Shakespeare, no Teatro Globo; e a pequena Lucy, que vivia nas margens enlameadas do Tâmisa de Dickens. Através da vida dessas pessoas, podemos acompanhar a transformação de Londres na metrópole cosmopolita dos dias de hoje. Um romance criativo e inteligente que chegou às principais listas de mais vendidos britânicas e americanas. Eu, Robô, de Isaac Asimov: Sinopse: ‘Eu, robô’ reúne os primeiros textos de Isaac Asimov sobre robôs, publicados entre 1940 e 1950. São nove contos que relatam a evolução dos autômatos através do tempo, e que contêm em suas páginas, pela primeira vez, as célebres ‘Três Leis da Robótica’ – os princípios que regem o comportamento dos robôs e que mudaram definitivamente a percepção que se tem sobre eles na literatura e na própria ciência. Joshué: Os Anjos do Tempo, de Kevin J. Anderson e Neil Peart: Sinopse: Kevin J Anderson é americano de Racine, Wisconsin, nascido em 27 de março de 1962. O primeiro conto escrito por ele foi aos 8 anos de idade (!). No primeiro romance publicado Resurrection, Inc já recebeu prêmios. Isso lhe catapultou para grandes produções, especialmente expandindo universos fictícios já estabelecidos. Noa anos 90 escreveu três livros no universo de Arquivo X, sendo “Ground Zero” de 1995 e Ruins, de 1996, os mais aclamados pelo público, o primeiro alcançando a lista dos mais vendidos do London Times, e o segundo a do New York Times. Também escreveu diversos livros para o universo expandido (atualmente implodido) de Star Wars, tais como Jedi Academy e a série de 14 volumes Young Jedi Knights. Foi o escolhido por Frank Herbert para ser co autor dos livros da saga Duna e 1997, juntamente com Brian Herbert, trabalho que carregou até 2014. Paralelamente, escreveu a novelização dos filme A Liga Extraordinária e Capitão Sky, e uma série de sete livros de autoria própria, chamada “A saga dos sete sóis”. Além disso tudo, foi o co autor, junto com Neil Peart, do livro Os Anjos do Tempo, que é o nosso tema. A obra é ambientada em um universo Steampunk, onde tudo e todos existem e agem de forma controlada. O Relojoeiro é o grande líder desse mundo, e tudo é premeditado, calculado e estável. Até o momento em que o personagem principal, Owen Hardy, um garoto qualquer, que vive sua vida sob as ordens do relojoeiro como qualquer outro, em uma vila afastada, se vê abandonado, e parte para viver uma grande aventura, repleta de civilizações perdidas, pessoas intrigantes, alquimistas, viagens no tempo, barcos voadores e anarquistas. Papilon, de Henri Charrière: Sinopse: Nascido em Saint-Étienne-de-Lugdarès, Ardèche 16 de novembro de 1906  e falecido em Madrid, 29 de julho de 1973, Henri se alistou na Marinha aos 23 anos, e após servir por dois anos, se tornou um membro conhecido da criminalidade de Paris. Em 1931 foi condenado injustamente pelo assassinato de um rufião chamado Roland Le Petit e sentenciado a prisão perpétua, cumulada com trabalhos forçados, a serem cumpridos na colônia penal Francesa, localizada ilha de St. Laurent du Maroni, na Guiana Francesa. É a partir desse momento que começamos a acompanhar a história de Henri no livro. O título da obra faz alusão ao apelido da Charrière, Papilon (borboleta, em francês), pela tatuagem que carregava no peito. Após 11 anos de prisão, Henri, que nunca se conformou com o tratamento da justiça francesa, finalmente consegue fugir, encontrando refúgio na Venezuela. Charrière publicou suas memórias na França em 1969, e o livro vendeu mais de 1 milhão e meio de cópias. Foi transformado em filme em 1973, com Steve McQueen interpretando o papel do herói. Will:  O 11º Mandamento: Sinopse: Depois de se conhecerem no navio que os levou da Índia para o Iêmen, o médico inglês Thomas Stone e a freira carmelita Mary Joseph Praise se reencontram num hospital em Adis Abeba, capital da Etiópia. Da união proibida entre os dois, nasce um par de gêmeos unidos pela cabeça, e operados em seguida. Para completar o cenário dramático, a mãe morre no parto e o pai desaparece no mundo, deixando os meninos nas mãos de um casal de médicos missionários. Shiva e Marion crescem juntos na Etiópia, mas uma mulher abrirá um abismo entre eles, separando-os radicalmente outra vez. Avançando por páginas em que não faltam lugares e personagens fascinantes, a saga se desloca da África para um hospital nos Estados Unidos. Traumas e decepções do passado ressurgem, e será preciso superá-los para reencontrar o amor que os une e a possibilidade de redenção. O Lobo do Mar: Sinopse: Poucos dias antes de completar dezessete anos, após mais uma bebedeira, Jack London caiu na água e só não morreu porque foi resgatado por um pescador. Logo após esse episódio, embarcou no Sophia Sutherland, barco destinado à caça de focas no Pacífico. Essas experiências estão retratadas no livro O lobo do mar. Lançado um ano depois do livro The Call of the Wild (O chamado da floresta) – ambos publicados com estrondoso sucesso -, este romance mostra o embate entre Humphrey van Weyden, um homem das letras, e Lobo Larsen, o implacável capitão da escuna “Ghost”, e a luta que ambos travam para sobreviver às tempestades e outros riscos mortais em alto-mar. Nos vívidos diálogos entre Wolf “Lobo” Larsen e Van Weyden, Jack London revive seus próprios questionamentos e produz uma soberba alegoria sobre a humanidade, o instinto de sobrevivência e o heroísmo. Rubens: STAR WARS – Marcas da Guerra: Sinopse: “Marcas da Guerra” é o primeiro livro oficial mostrando o que acontece depois do clássico “Episódio VI: O Retorno de Jedi”, dando pistas sobre o que podemos esperar de “O Despertar da Força”. Aqui você descobre que a guerra não terminou realmente e os traumas deixados por ela serão sentidos por muito tempo. Novos personagens e velhos conhecidos, agora devem escolher um lado: defender a criação da Nova República ou lutar pela volta do poder absoluto. Jogador n.º 1: Sinopse: “Um mundo em jogo, a busca pelo grande prêmio.” “Você está preparado, Jogador número 1?” O ano é 2044 e a Terra não é mais a mesma. Fome, guerras e desemprego empurraram a humanidade para um estado de apatia nunca antes visto. Wade Watts é mais um dos que escapa da desanimadora realidade passando horas e horas conectado ao OASIS – uma utopia virtual global que permite aos usuários ser o que quiserem; um lugar onde se pode viver e se apaixonar em qualquer um dos mundos inspirados nos filmes, videogames e cultura pop dos anos 1980. Mas a possibilidade de existir em outra realidade não é o único atrativo do OASIS; o falecido James Halliday, bilionário e criador do jogo, escondeu em algum lugar desse imenso playground uma série de easter-eggs que premiará com sua enorme fortuna – e poder – aquele que conseguir desvendá-los. E Wade acabou de encontrar o primeiro deles. As músicas que são citadas no livro vocês conferem nesta playlist no Spotify: Ready Player One Mateus:  A Passagem – Justin Cronin: Sinopse: “Quando o homem tenta ser imortal, o fim da humanidade é questão de tempo”. Essa distopia conta a história de um mundo em que a humanidade está quase aniquilada por um vírus de um experimento biológico militar que saiu do controle, e com isso dizimou grande parte dos Estados Unidos (a falta de comunicação entre as colônias sobreviventes não nos permite saber se o fenômeno é mundial). Grupos de pacientes terminais de câncer são levados para a América do Sul em uma viagem que é o último desejo do enfermo, e voltam milagrosamente curados, pois o vírus dá uma grande resistência e fator de cura ao organismo hospedeiro, de maneira curiosa fazendo desenvolver o Timo. Em experimentos militares para potencializar a ação do vírus utilizam-se de prisioneiros no corredor da morte, que são transformados em criaturas como vampiros, super resistentes, muito ágeis e que os pontos fracos são a luminosidade e um ponto no meio do peito, onde é o coração. Não tendo o efeito esperado, buscam usar como cobaia uma criança, a garota Amy abandonada pela própria mãe. Após os seres escaparem do laboratório, matam 9 em cada 10 pessoas, e um transformam em outro vampiro. Após contar sobre o incidente a história pula 100 anos, e fala sobre uma colônia de sobreviventes que enfrenta o drama de continuarem  sobrevivendo, mantendo a cidade iluminada 24 horas por dia através da energia fornecida em uma usina eólica, mas as baterias que armazenam a energia para ser usada nos dias que não tem vento estão com a vida útil no fim. Quando Amy aparece, os colonos buscam uma nova forma de combater essas criaturas. O livro tem elementos semelhantes aos livros de George Martin, como uma ótima descrição da colônia, cenários, etc, e faz com que o leitor tenha a simpatia por muitos personagens, mesmo os antipáticos. Um momento muito forte é no início do livro o abandono da Amy pela mãe O livro tem também várias narrativas e a história é contada além do modo converncional, por e-mails, e diários. Peter Pan tem que Morrer – John Verdon: Sinopse: Quarto livro de John Verdon sobre o detetive aposentado David Gurney. O livro cita os casos anteriores, porém sem dar spoiler, mesmo assim a leitura dos livros anteriores não é obrigatória para a compreensão deste livro. Como os livros anteriores, mostra um certo conflito das personalidades do David com sua esposa Madeleine, pois ele mesmo aposentado ainda gosta de solucionar casos, e mesmo que ele diz que só vai dar uma olhada no que a polícia tem, ele não consegue deixar de aprofundar nas investigações. Estar diante de um quebra cabeças é algo que ele não consegue estar sem se envolver e resolver o mistério, por outro lado, Madeleine quer uma vida tranquila após a aposentadoria do marido. Pontas que se fecham no final. A esposa de um grande empresário, com aspirações políticas é presa acusada da tentativa de homicídio, e o amigo de David, Jack Hardwick, desconfia que houve muita negligência na investigação, acusando injustamente Katherine Spalter, esposa de Carl da tentativa de homicídio e pede que Gurney dê uma olhada no caso. O assassino de aluguel, Peter Pan, é um criminoso frio e maquiavélico, que não mede esforços para cumprir sua missão. É um assassino de aluguel contratado exclusivamente para solucionar casos difíeis, é um criminoso caro. Após ver muita negligência na investigação (frase célebre do livro: Dave,meu garoto, não precisa me convencer de que a teoria é uma bosta. Eu sei que é. Tem mais furos do que o braço de um viciado em heroína. (Pág.46)) , Gurney percebe que a filha e o irmão de Carl podem ter contratado Peter Pan para matarem o empresário de modo que eles também ganhassem com isso (a filha a herança, e o irmão o controle sobre a empresa). Um destaque na cena quando Gurney está prestes a descobrir quem é Peter Pan, e por que ele atirou em Carl Spalter, cena esta que acontece em um parque de diversões.

Edward Rutherfurdi romaan on rikkalik saaga, mis põimib ühte rikaste ja vaeste, põliselanike ja immigrantide lood. Näeme New Yorgi tagasihoidlikku algust väikese indiaani kalurikülana, hollandi ja briti kaupmeeste saabumist, iseseisvussõda, linna kujunemist suureks kaubandus- ja finantskeskuseks, kodusõda, immigratsioonilainet 19. ja 20. sajandil, II maailmasõda, linna uuestisündi 1990. aastatel ja rünnakut Maailma Kaubanduskeskusele. Segu lahinguist, romantikast, perekondade saatustest ja isiklikest võitudest, on New York tõeliselt suur romaan Ameerika ja kogu maailma ühest olulisemast linnast. (Edward Rutherfurd. New York.)

There are but a few places on the planet that conjure up whole images, thoughts and emotions. Regardless of whether you’ve been there or not.  London, New York, Ireland and Paris, to name a few.  All are the subjects of sweeping novels by internationally bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd.  He was last on this program to talk about his novel, New York. Now he turns his talents to Paris: The Novel and gives us a dazzling historical portrait of the City of Light.My conversation with Edward Rutherfurd:

Edward Rutherfurd was born in England, in the cathedral city of Salisbury. Educated locally, and at the universities of Cambridge, and Stanford, California, he subsequently worked in political research, bookselling and publishing. Abandoning this career in the book trade in 1983, he returned to his childhood home to write SARUM, a historical novel with a ten-thousand year storyline, set in the area around the ancient monument of Stonehenge. It was an instant international bestseller remaining 23 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. Since then he has written six more bestsellers: RUSSKA, a novel of Russia; LONDON; THE FOREST, set in England's New Forest which lies close by Sarum, and two novels which cover the story of Ireland from the time just before Saint Patrick to the twentieth century. In 2009 NEW YORK was published, and in 2013, PARIS. Rutherfurd is the quintessential Literary Tourist. He 'walks' the cities he writes about, researches them, imagines them, and arrives at a personal understanding of them. We talk here about this process, about the importance of learning about the ordinary lives of people from the past, of writing short stories about the places you visit, and about history as reconnaissance and "finding out what happened to the last army that went there".
