Opis i karakteristike
The Sunday Times Bestseller
Be a hero this Christmas and give them Stephen Fry's followup to Mythos, a fascinating retelling of the Greek myths and legends.
'An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heartstirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales.
Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta who was raised by bears outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Filled with whiteknuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of at our worst and our very best.
'A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his storytelling best . . . the gods will be pleased' The Times
'Assured and engaging. The pace is lively, the jokes are genuinely funny' Guardian
'An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry his myths are definitely a hit' Evening Standard
'Just as delightful and difficult to put down as the first. Heroes makes the stories relatable without skimping on the gory details, or sacrificing the truths of the myth. It's rich, it's funny and you'll feel like you've learned a lot' Herald
