Krátky popis
Pre-order Stephen Fry's bewitching retelling of the legend of Troy
- a tale of love and war, passion and power - following his
sensational bestsellers MYTHOS and HEROES'Troy. The most marvellous
kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean.Glittering Ilion,
the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'The story of
Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen
celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships
against that great city, to which they will lay siege for ten whole
and very bloody years.It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who
triggers war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the
fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart
of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally,
nature takes its course. It is a terrible, brutal war with
casualties on all sides.The Greeks cannot defeat the Trojans -
since Achilles, the Greek's boldest warrior, is consumed with
jealousy over an ally's choice of lover, the Trojan slave Briseis,
and will not fight . . .The stage is set for the oldest and
greatest story ever told, where monstrous passions meet the highest
ideals and the lowest cunning. In Troy you will find heroism and
hatred, love and loss, revenge and regret, desire and despair. It
is these human passions, written bloodily in the sands of a distant
shore, that still speak to us today.Troy is a myth in which we seek
the truth about ourselves, which Stephen Fry brings breathtakingly
to life for our modern age. PRAISE FOR MYTHOS AND HEROES:'A romp
through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his
story-telling best .. . the gods will be pleased' Times'A
head-spinning marathon of legends' Guardian'An Olympian feat.The
gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit'
Evening Standard'An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant . ..
all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail'A rollicking good read'
