Troy

The Greek Myths Reimagined

De: Stephen Fry

Narrado por: Stephen Fry

In this brilliant conclusion to his bestselling Mythos trilogy, legendary author and actor Stephen Fry retells the tale of the Trojan War.

Full of tragic heroes, intoxicating love stories, and the unstoppable force of fate, there is no conflict more iconic than the Trojan War. Troy is the story of the epic battle retold by Fry with drama, humor, and vivid emotion. Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, Helen, their lovers, and their mortal enemies all burn bright in Fry's compelling prose. Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this gorgeous volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.

• BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon whose signature wit and mellifluous style makes this retelling utterly unique. Fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original Greek myths or not.
• TIMELESS STORIES: For fans of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, or Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, this is the perfect next great read. These ancient tales never get old.
• STUNNING SERIES CONCLUSION: Mythos and Heroes, the first two installments in the trilogy, were international bestsellers. Now fans can read the thrilling third book.

Greek mythology demystified

Steven Fry's performance ever since his first book has always been a lark. The Iliad for me was always one of those stories that you could sit down and read about end to end and still have it make to sense or get lost in the weeds. But the single-minded performance of Stephen here sells the story to me. Gripping me in every turn. I hope Stephen finds it in him to do the Odyssey.

Not as good as Mythos, but still fantastic

It’s hard to top the execution of Mythos, but Heroes and Troy both come close. I was particularly excited to get to this third and final installment. I found it to be less dramatic and exciting in delivery as I expected, but I still loved it. The origin of the Trojan war and all its key players is a LOT to take in, and Fry makes everything palatable and fathomable.

Well done Mr. Fry!

I would recommend Mr. Fry’s entire Mythos catalogue to anyone with even a faint interest in Ancient Greece.
This particular entry may be the best yet. Mr. Fry has a very friendly voice that he can manipulate at will giving each of the many characters and distinct and memorable performance. Unlike many other adaptations or translations of Homer’s works, this is wonderfully accessible and entertaining. I am very excited for the release of the Odyssey. Thank you Mr. Fry.

A Thrilling Epic

I really do love these Mythos audiobooks and this one is excellent, a cohesive narrative that really brings the story of the Illiad and the surrounding myths of the Trojan War together in something digestible but not dumbed down.

Well Done!!

Enjoyed every moment! Well written and narrated! Really enjoyed the entire series, keep on going!!
