DESCRIPCIÓN:

Críticas By far his best and most enthralling work of novelistic history....Powerful, poignant...a transportingly true story.--The New York TimesTells a fascinating story brilliantly well.--Financial TimesHighly compelling...Larson brings Berlin roaring to life in all its glamour and horror...a welcome new chapter in the vast canon of World War II.--Christian Science MonitorTerrific.--Los Angeles Times"A stunning work of history."--Newsweek"Larson has meticulously researched the Dodds' intimate witness to Hitler's ascendancy and created an edifying narrative of this historical byway that has all the pleasures of a political thriller....a fresh picture of these terrrible events."--The New York Times Book Review Larson has taken a brilliant idea and turned it into a gripping book.--Women's Wear DailyHarrowingly suspenseful. Vogue.comA gripping, deeply-intimate narrative with a climax that reads like the best political thriller, where we are stunned with each turn of the page.--Louisville Courier JournalElectrifying reading...fascinating. Minneapolis Star-Tribune"Larson's latest chronicle of history has as much excitement as a thriller novel, and it's all the more thrilling because it's all true."--Asbury Park PressA superb book...nothing less than masterful.--Toronto Globe and Mail"Even though we know how it will end -- the book's climax, the Night of the Long Knives, being just the beginning, this is a page-turner, full of flesh and blood people and monsters too, whose charms are particularly disturbing."--Portland HeraldLarson succeeds brilliantly...offers a fascinating window into the year when the world began its slow slide into war.--Maclean's MagazineErik Larson tackles this outstanding period of history as fully and compellingly as he portrayed the events in his bestseller, THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY. With each page, more horrors are revealed, making it impossible to put down. IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS reads like the true thriller it is.--BookReporter.comLarson's strengths as a storytellerhave never been stronger than they are here, and this story is far more important than either The Devil in the White City or Thunderstruck. How the United States dithered as Hitler rose to power is a cautionary tale that bears repeating, and Larson has told it masterfully.--Cleveland Plain Dealer"Reads like an elegant thriller...utterly compelling... marvelous stuff. An excellent and entertaining book that deserves to be a bestseller, and probably will be."--The Washington Post "Larson's scholarship is impressive, but it's his pacing and knack for suspense that elevates the book from the matter-of-fact to the sublime."--Pittsburgh Review"A master at writing true tales as riveting as fiction."--People (3 1/2 stars) Larson has done it again, expertly weaving together a fresh new narrative from ominous days of the 20th century.--Associated PressMesmerizing...cinematic, improbable yet true.--Philadelphia Inquirer[L]ike slipping slowly into a nightmare, with logic perverted and morality upended....It all makes for a powerful, unsettling immediacy.--Bruce Handy, Vanity Fair"Dazzling....Reads like a suspense novel, replete with colorful characters, both familiar and those previously relegated to the shadows. Like Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories or Victor Klemperer's Diaries, IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS is an on-the-ground documentary of a society going mad in slow motion.--The Chicago Sun-Times"[G]ripping, a nightmare narrative of a terrible time. It raises again the question never fully answered about the Nazi era--what evil humans are capable of, and what means are necessary to cage the beast."--The Seattle TimesIn this mesmerizing portrait of the Nazi capital, Larson plumbs a far more diabolical urban cauldron than in his bestselling The Devil in the White City...a vivid, atmospheric panorama of the Third Reich and its leaders, including murderous Nazi factional infighting, through the accretion of small crimes and petty thuggery.--Pu
