review 1: I am a big fan of Valerio Massimo Manfredi and had to read his latest book. The story begins with Odysseus as a child living on Ithaca, learning how to become a ruler from his father, how to be a man and hunter from his grandfather and his relationship with the goddess Athene. He meets Helen as prepubescent boy when he and his father travel through mainland Greece and again when a suitor for her hand in marriage. The story is told in first person, Odysseus, an enthusiastic young boy with a promising future to the man who witnesses the events which ultimately leads to the war with the Trojans.I did enjoy the story, though found some scenes slow. If you enjoy Manfredi's books and a fan of Homer's epic stories, then I recommend you read this book.
review 2: Manfre... moredi narra de forma magistral esta adaptación del clásico de Homero. Se cuenta en primera persona la historia de Ulises (Odiseo), sus primeros años de vida, sus primeras aventuras y la guerra de Troya. Una buena dosis de mitología aunque el ritmo pueda parecer un poco lento. la cantidad de personajes que aparece a veces puede crear confusión pero en general la historia está muy bien contada. Recomiendo la obra pero no dejeis de leer la Odisea y la Iliada, por favor. less
