Really couldn't get into this ( ) En esta novela destacan dos aspectos, la recreación de la época, con especial atención por el aspecto intelectual y las normas de convivencia que rigieron la sociedad; y por otro, la sensibilidad de la autora en la exposición del sentimiento de la amistad. Esto permite que tanto los lectores aficionados a la novela histórica como los que no lo son lean la historia de Alexias, el inicio del fin del esplendor griego y los antecedentes de la gran batalla del Peloponeso con placer e interés. The world of Alexias, a young boy growing up in fifth century B.C. Athens is one similar to our own in at least one respect. There was an almost continuous war going on, in this case between Sparta and Athens. The young boy is sheltered from this at first and manages to explore his feelings and make a new friend, Lysis. The result of his experiences will have to await further perusal of this rich and exciting historical novel. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

New York Times bestseller: A "highly superior historical novel" about the bond that grows between two men in ancient Athens (Saturday Review). Alexias is a young aristocrat living during the end of Athens's Golden Age. Prized for his beauty and athletic prowess, Alexias studies under Sokrates with his closest friend, Lysis. Together, the young men come of age in an Athens on the verge of great upheaval. They attend the Olympics, partake in symposia, fight on the battlefields of the Peloponnesian War, and fall in love. The first of Mary Renault's celebrated historical novels of ancient Greece, The Last of the Wine follows Alexias and Lysis into adulthood, when Athens is defeated by Sparta, the Thirty Tyrants take hold of the city, and the lives of both men are changed forever. Through their friendship, Renault opens a vista onto ancient Greek life, uncovering its vibrancy, culture, and political strife, and offers an unforgettable story of love, honor, loyalty, and the remarkable bond between two men. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author. "Mary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. She shows us their strangeness; discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us." --Hilary Mantel Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
