Commentary Conducive To Books Enigma

"Radnja ovoga romana odvija se na pozadini stvarnog povijesnog događaja" - rečenica je iz piščeve napomene kojom se otvara ovaj roman, a čija istinitost odmah intrigira. Čitatelj biva uvučen u vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata, u Bletchley Park, britansku tajnu bazu za presretanje njemačkih šifri. Iako izmišljeni, likovi su slojeviti, živopisni, a priča napeta i neizvjesna. Tom Jericko, razbijač šifri, odgonetava promjenu njemačke šifre za tajne operacije u Europi, a istovremeno rješava nestanak bivše djevojke koja je možda špijun!

Write Up Based On Books Enigma

Okay, I didnt know anything about this. I enjoy learning about history, how could I not have known? This enigma code breaking computer is as powerful and important as fire, as the Iron Age, steam engines, steel, cotton gins, air planes, telephones, antibiotics, atomic weapons, vaccines, waterproof mascara and tampons... I mean come on, why wasnt I taught about this in history class?I devoured this book and then sought out the movie based on Alan Turing. (Which was also wonderful, thanks Benedict

Two mid-level protagonists in a closed environment, a wartime secret unearthed ... by inevitable comparison between two WWII novels, Fatherland comes out on top. I wish I liked this story better, for the Enigma background is solid, rotors spinning and women auxilaries kept in the dark as the smell of overheated circuits drifts. Also, the nerdy protagonist doesn't get the girl and The Girl isn't the hottie. Perhaps I expected a bigger impact of their actions upon the course of the war, but, as

Its my fault and not Robert Harris that I havent been able to rate this novel more highly. I bought it a few years ago, on sale at the local bookstore, fresh from having read and enjoyed Imperium. From memory, having seen the movie adaptation a few years previously also influenced my purchase. The premise is a good one: its an espionage story set in Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, which during World War II was the site of the UKs main decryption establishment. This is where ciphers generated

2.5/5 Probably the weakest of the 8 novels I have read by the author. The story of how the German cryptography codes were cracked. The narration style is typical of Harris - leisurely paced, with some good set-pieces and important history is part of the revelation at the end. But, found this one a bit too long, and a bit obscure. The obscurity reminded me of le Carre.

WOII thriller, set in the background of the decoding center in Bletchley Park. I enjoyed the book.

Robert Harris followed up his brilliant debut novel 'Fatherland' with 'Enigma' set during WWII in Britain with Bletchley Park (as then top secret) code breaking facility as its backdrop and named after the German mechanical cipher (Enigma) machines.Whilst not perhaps quite as strong or consistent as 'Fatherland' this is nevertheless an excellent historical thriller, very evocative of the era and creating a great sense of authenticity and tension throughout. Robert Harris displays his (by now)

I read this book when it was first published as a paperback and the story today, twenty years later, is as interesting as it was then, but the circumstances surrounding the story seem scarier now than they were. The horrors of Hitler and WWII seem magnified by the passing of time and one can only wonder what the world would be like today if the hundreds of dedicated folks at Bletchley Park had not cracked the Enigma Code and, more importantly, had not been able to keep that fact a secret from
