Story
November 2009. Sergei Magnitsky is led to an isolation cell in a Moscow prison and beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million in taxes. Magnitsky’s brutal killing has remained uninvestigated to this day. Red Notice is a searing exposé of the Russian authorities responsible for the murder, slicing deep into the heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths.

...but compelling. This book lifts the lid on one of the world's most brutal cleptocracies, and is a must for budding geopolitical students.

My only minor gripe is the questionable Mexican Spanish accent of the narrator. Otherwise five stars.

Disgusting book, seriously feel like I need a shower after reading this. Interesting social commentary, however.

It's almost twenty years since I read a trilogy in four parts, maybe my vision is rose tinted, but I can say this is definitely not up to the same standard as the first four books. It's quirky and funny in places, but the action is all rather forced.
Of course if you've got to the fourth book you'll read this, and probably enjoy it, but try not to get your hopes up too high. If you're new to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, make sure you read them in order.

Comment Lord Eddard Stark, seigneur de Winterfell, Main du Roi, gravement blessé par traîtrise, et par là même plus que jamais à la merci de la perfidie de la reine Cersei ou des imprévisibles caprices du despotique Roi Robert, aurait-il une chance d'échapper à la nasse tissée dans l'ombre pour l'abattre ? Comment, armé de sa seule et inébranlable loyauté, cerné de toutes parts par d'abominables intrigues, pourrait-il à la fois survivre, sauvegarder les siens et assurer la pérennité du royaume ?

J'aime le trône de fer, et c'est le troisième langue que j'ai lu ce livre, cependant chaque capitule commence avec music du moyen âge. il y a plusieurs fois que la musique n'est pas applicable de la ton de l'histoire.

"En ces temps-là nimbés de brume, où la belle saison pouvait durer des années et la mauvaise toute une vie, se multiplièrent un jour des présages alarmants. Au nord du Mur colossal qui protégeait le royaume, se massèrent soudain des forces obscures. Au sud, l'ordre établi chancela. Le meurtre et la corruption, la lâcheté et le mensonge enserrèrent inexorablement le trône convoité..."

J'aime les ouvrés de GRR Martin, mais, malheureusement cette version n'est pas complète. J'ai lu avec le livre et il y avait beaucoup de phrases coupés ou disparu.

Una revista de tres partes

El libro original es una obra de arte y la traducción es muy buena. Llorens no llega a la nivel de Degas (la versión inglesa) pero igual la narración da una buena razón de escuchar y no leerlo. Si tienes tiempo, probarlo en inglés también, no estarías decepcionado.

En una posada en tierra de nadie, un hombre se dispone a relatar, por primera vez, la auténtica historia de su vida. Una historia que únicamente él conoce y que ha quedado diluida tras los rumores, las conjeturas y los cuentos de taberna que le han convertido en un personaje legendario a quien todos daban ya por muerto: Kvothe# músico, mendigo, ladrón, estudiante, mago, héroe y asesino.

If you could sum up El nombre del viento [The Name of the Wind] in three words, what would they be?
Un Libro Magico
Any additional comments?
Compre este libro para mejorar mi castellano pero tuve una sopresa de la calidad de produccion. Tal vez Sr Lorens no llegó al nivel del narador ingles Rupert Degas, pero si el otro es 100%, Raul Lorens lo seria 95%. Realmente he disfrutado escuchando la misma historia en mi lengua segunda, y creo que ha estado una de la mejor formas para mejorar mi castellano.
