Product Description
The Song of Achilles — A New York Times Bestseller
“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and a startlingly original work of art…. A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House
About the Book: From the bestselling author of Circe comes a thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War. The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterpiece, The Iliad. A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, it’s an epic love story and an action-packed adventure that brings ancient Greece vividly to life.
Why Readers Love It: With unforgettable characters and lyrical storytelling, Madeline Miller delivers an emotional masterpiece that explores glory, destiny, and love in the Age of Heroes. Fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will be captivated.
“A captivating retelling of The Iliad and events leading up to it through the point of view of Patroclus: it’s a hard book to put down, and any classicist will be enthralled by her characterization of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity.” —Donna Tartt, The Times
