Synopsis
Troy is the city that gave birth to some of the greatest stories the Western world has ever heard. Troy digs deep into the history of the magnificent city, the myths and legends, the fate of treasures and of men and women, taking us up to the present day. For Troy is not only a place of myth, Troy existed. Homer's Illiad brings all the strands of the story together with Priam, a king; Hector, his heroic son; the mighty warrior, Achilles, from whom Alexander the Great claimed descent; Patroclus, Achilles' dearest friend; Ulysses, the old trickster; Paris, Priam's other son; and finally, Agamemnon who led the besieging forces demanding the return of Helen, wife of Menelaeus. Schliemann, a German archaeologist, was obsessed with finding the fabled city. He unearthed the city of Troy that had vanished from the face of the earth. By skill, determination and fine detective work, Schliemann found the layers of one city after another lying under a mound on the shores of Asia, called Hissalrik. In this stunning, illustrated reference book, Nick McCarty retells the magnificent epic legend of the place and answers many questions. He also uncovers the archaeological history of Troy and the people involved in those discoveries.

Etat : Sehr gut. 122 p., many colored illustration. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlga, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - This is the story of the mighty city of Troy that gave birth to one of the greatest legends ever told. But there is more to Troy than mere myth. Sumptuously illustrated, Troy uncovers the archaeological history of Troy and the people involved with the discoveries. Troy also retells the compelling tale of the siege, the characters involved and the bloody battles that ensued, while answering many pressing questions about this extraordinary place. Troy draws upon the works of Homer and Virgil to tell the story of the battle for Troy, and to help build an accurate description of what Troy was like at the time of the siege.The interaction between the great mythological characters Achilles and Hector is central to the Trojan War, which continued for ten long years. In the aftermath of the bloody battle between the two mighty warriors,Troy was defeated by an ingenious plot involving the famous wooden horse. Troy also follows the adventures of Heinrich Schliemann, a ruthless treasure-seeker, at his archaeological site in north-west Turkey in 1870. As ancient ruins and beautiful treasures were uncovered, Schliemann believed he had found the ancient city of Troy. By interweaving these two stories, Troy provides a captivating and complete account of the legend of Troy, a legend which continues to fascinate everyone from school children to film directors. - NICK McCARTY has been a professional writer since the age of 22. Writing mostly for television, he co-devised and wrote "The Regiment" for BBC TV about the Victorian Army and then "Spearhead" for STV about the British Army today.

His awards include The Sony Best Radio Adaptation for A Tale of Two Cities,The Golden Rose New York Best Production for The Canterville Ghost and The Pye Award for Best Children's Television Drama. Married, with two children, he lives partly in France and partly in Kew, England. ISBN 9781844427697 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 873 Original hardcover with dust jacket.
