Book description
Let's be real: I was skeptical about a book set in ancient Sicily during a war, but Ferdia Lennon's Glorious Exploits hooked me from the first line. Seriously, who wouldn't be intrigued by two unemployed potters named Lampo and Gelon deciding the best way to deal with Athenian prisoners is to demand they quote Euripides? Yeah, you heard that right. Feed them poetry or starve them. It's absurd, hilarious, and utterly brilliant.
The audiobook? Pure magic. Lennon's Irish voice-like a friend leaning in to tell you the wildest story you've ever heard-makes every line land perfectly. You can practically hear Lampo and Gelon arguing over lines, getting way too into their Medea production, and realizing they've accidentally started something way bigger than they planned. The humor is riotous (I snorted at the bit about prisoners trying to memorize Greek while dodging rocks), but it's also got this raw, tender heart. It's not just about a play; it's about how art can be a lifeline when everything's falling apart. How two guys from opposite sides of a war can bond over a shared love of Euripides. It's messy, human, and so damn hopeful.
What really blew me away? How Lennon makes ancient history feel immediate. You're not just hearing about the Peloponnesian War-you're right there with these guys, feeling the tension, the fear, the sheer joy of creating something beautiful in the middle of chaos. The stakes feel real: staging a play is as dangerous as fighting, and the consequences hit hard. But the message? It's simple and powerful: you can hate the people but love their art. And that love? It's what keeps us human.
I listened to this on a long drive, and I was grinning one minute, tearing up the next. It's not just a great story-it's a reminder of why we tell stories in the first place. If you've ever felt like art could save you (or someone else), this audiobook's for you. It's funny, smart, and leaves you feeling like the world's a little brighter. Trust me, you'll be quoting it to your friends for weeks. Just... maybe don't try to stage a play in a quarry yourself. You're welcome.
