Arcadian Nights: Gods, Heroes and Monsters from Greek Myth – from the winner of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
'This book shines... Arcadian Nights is good fun.'
HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW
'Classicists and non-classicists alike will love Arcadian Nights... a great book.'
OXFORD TODAY
'An excellent read that examines the intricacies of storytelling and the complexities of human nature.'
HELENA GUMLEY-MASON, The Lady Magazine
Delving into the stories of the five larger-than-life heroes of Greek myth, Arcadian Nights shows in dazzling style how – gods, heroes and kings though they are – the emotions that drove them on reverberate down the millennia.
Ancient as they are, the Greek myths still resonate at the core of our literature and culture, and may well reveal more about human nature and the world we have created than we like to believe.
From the garden of his house in the Peloponnese overlooking the gulf of Argos, award-winning playwright and novelist John Spurling draws on a lifetime’s engagement with the classics and with Greek culture to reanimate the characters of Apollo, Herakles, Theseus, Perseus and Agamemnon, along with the gods, demi-gods, monsters and mortals who shaped their destinies. Gripping, spirited and sometimes grisly, Spurling’s fresh interpretations of these timeless tales bring both their heroes and their context vividly to life.
