De Herman Melville
Duração7h 25m
Sobre este audiolivro
The forgotten hero of the American Revolution wanders through fifty years of exile, poverty, and shifting identities in a foreign land. Israel Potter’s journey is a gritty, picaresque struggle against a fate that refuses to grant him glory. Through his eyes, we see the rough edges of history and the resilience of a man discarded by the nation he helped create.
