The time: 1931. The place: the golf links at Krewe Island off Savannah's windswept Atlantic shore. The event: a once-in-a-lifetime 36-hole match...in which the stakes are higher than anyone imagined.

In Steven Pressfield's richly imagined, vividly detailed story, golf legends Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen are joined by a local unsung opponent, the troubled war hero Rannulph Junah. Played above raging Atlantic surf and under gathering storm clouds, their match is thrilling competition. But the key to the outcome lies with Bagger Vance, a caddie who carries the secret of the Authentic Swing. His mysterious powers guide the play and leave a lasting imprint on the lives he touches that day and in years to come.

A sports fable worthy of comparison to The Natural, The Legend of Bagger Vance reveals that, in life as well as golf, the real battle is not with outside opponents but with oneself.

Ho ascoltato volentieri il libro. Mi è piaciuto, soprattutto per le riflessioni sul golf e sulla vita (alcune delle quali mi risuonano ancora adesso nelle orecchie) Eppure è uno di quei (rari) casi in cui il film mi ha conquistato più del libro.

Belle riflessioni

You'll get the most out of this story if you know something of golf and especially if you've played it. The story uses golf as a metaphor for life and is wonderfully told. I was looking forward to my car trips waiting to listen to the next installment of this audio book. Highly recommend.

Great Story

It's only golf. I'm not one of those who is of the mind that golf teaches massive life lessons. This treatment is overly dramatic and sentimental.

Meh.

What made the experience of listening to The Legend of Bagger Vance the most enjoyable?

The author must have had the narrator Ronny Cox in mind when he wrote the book. I have listened to many many audio books, but this narrator was great with a capital G. I could not wait to get in my car and drive to work each day listening to the story.

Narrator Excellent!

Excellent listen. I did not see the film adaptation and don't plan to. May not enjoy it as much if you're golf illiterate.

I truly enjoyed this book and found it difficult to turn off. Even though this was an ABRIDGED version the narrator did a very good job. I searched for an UNABRIDGED version but did not find one. I also bought the book. Enjoy!

My first ABRIDGED audio book.

It spoke to my soul. Wonderfully well-written. The narrator was right for the story, too.

Amazing. Profound. Beautiful.

This is a great story, rich in detail and very well narrated by Ronnie Cox. I didn't care for the movie but Pressfield is a fabulous storyteller.

Blows the movie away!
