DESCRIPCIÓN:

A New York Times Bestseller"At once a scholar's homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art....A book I could not put down." Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch HouseA thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of CirceA tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer's enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An actionpacked adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed pageturner, Miller's monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction's brightest lightsand fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes."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 characterisation of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity." Donna Tartt, The Times Críticas "Fast, true and incredibly rewarding...A remarkable achievement." USA Today"Wildly romantic [and] surprisingly suspenseful....[B]ringing those dark figures back to life, making them men again, and while she's at it, us[ing] her passionate companion piece to The Iliad as a subtle swipe at today's ongoing debate over gay marriage. Talk about updating the classics." Time magazine"One of the best novelistic adaptations of Homer in recent memory, and it offers strikingly wellrounded and compassionate portrait of Achilles....[Miller] injects a newfound sense of suspense into a story with an ending that has already been determined." Wall Street Journal"Powerful, inventive, passionate, and beautifully written. " Boston Globe"Beautifully done. . ..In prose as clean and spare as the driving poetry of Homer, Miller captures the intensity and devotion of adolescent friendship and lets us believe in these longdead boys...deepening and enriching a tale that has been told for 3,000 years." Washington Post"One of 2012's most exciting debuts...seductive, hugely entertaining....[I]magining the intimate friendship between Achilles and the devoted Patroclus...Miller conjures...soulmates. The resulting novel is cinematicone might say epicin scope, but refreshingly, compellingly human in detail." Vogue"You don't need to be familiar with Homer's The Iliad (or Brad Pitt's Troy, for that matter) to find Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles spellbinding....her explorations of ego, grief, and love's many permutations are both familiar and new....[A] timeless love story." O magazine"Madeline Miller's brilliant first novel...is a story of great, passionate love between Achilles and Patroclus....[R]ewriting the Western world's first and greatest war novel is an awesome task to undertake. That she did it with such grace, style and suspense is astonishing." Dallas Morning News"The Song of Achilles...should be read and enjoyed for itself, but if Madeline Miller's novel sends the reader back to Homer and his successors, she is to be thanked for that as well." Washington Independent Review of Books"A psychologically astute Iliad prelude featuring the heady, starcrossed adolescence of future heroes Patroclus and Achilles." Vogue"[Miller] makes a persuasive argument for the timeliness of her subject. ...Miller's winning debut focuses on Patroclus, a young prince living in Achilles' golden shadow. Miller also gives voice to many of the women who were also consigned to the shadows." Publishers Weekly, Spring 2012 Preview, Top 10 Literary Fiction"Masterfully brings to life an imaginative yet informed vision of ancient Greece featuring divinely human gods and largerthanlife mort
