Sobre este áudio
A murderous atmosphere pervaded 19th-century America marked by lurid newspaper accounts and remembered in ballad and verse. The Bloody Century presents 50 of the most intriguing murder cases from the archives of American crime. It is a collection of fascinating stories - some famous, some long-buried - of Americans, driven by desperation, greed, jealousy, or an irrational bloodlust, to take another’s life.
The Bloody Century audiobook augments the true accounts of these murders with musical performances of period ballads and poems. The days of America’s distant past, the time of gaslights and horse-drawn carriages, are often viewed as quaint and sentimental. Yet, a closer look reveals passions, fears, and motives that are timeless and universal, and a population inured to violence, capable of monstrous acts. A visit to The Bloody Century may well give us insight into our own.
