Book description
This deluxe edition features elegant sprayed and stenciled edges; sparkling gold foil; endpapers featuring a map of Homer's Greece; a guide to Greek gods, mortals, and heroes; essays by Madeline Miller; and discussion questions.A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe.A tale of gods and goddesses, kings and queens, immortal fame and the human heart.Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful-irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods' wrath.They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when words comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.

Freak
With this app, audiobook listening has become a seamless and enjoyable part of my everyday life. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed.

The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
