Book description
Hear Lincoln's voice rise from the past, not as a distant echo but as a living current. Russell Freedman's Lincoln: A Photobiography-a Newbery Medal winner-becomes something entirely new in audio, where words breathe and history settles into the rhythm of a story told well. Freedman, who walked the earth gathering truth, weaves Lincoln's journey with the quiet certainty of a man who knew how to listen. You hear the boy in the Kentucky log cabin, his laughter sharp as flint, then the lawyer's sharp wit cutting through the fog of a courtroom, the weight of the presidency settling like dust on worn boots. The audiobook's power lies in its unhurried pace, letting each moment breathe: the courtship with Mary Todd, the terrible calculus of the Civil War, the final, terrible night at Ford's Theatre. Freedman's prose, always clear and kind, becomes a companion, guiding you through the fog of history with a steady hand. The photographs that anchor the printed book? They live in the mind's eye now, vivid as the narrator's voice-a voice that doesn't shout history, but lets it settle like the soft light of a candle through a window. You hear Lincoln's own words at the close, the quiet strength of his writing, and it's not just a biography; it's a conversation across time. This isn't merely learning about Lincoln-it's feeling his presence, the man who carried the nation's sorrow and hope in his own voice. Freedman didn't just write a life; he gave it a voice that lingers, clear and true, long after the final chapter fades. In this audio form, history isn't a lesson-it's a river, flowing gently, carrying you to the heart of a man who, in the end, found his way.
