Sinopse

The Song of Troy, a novel masterfully and rawly written by Colleen McCullough, recreates the tragic and terrifying saga of the Trojan War in a story filled with betrayal, revenge, and heroic hatred, imbued with reality. Never have the consequences of the romance between Paris and Helen been narrated in such a fascinating and understandable way. The narrative of this epic is told from the perspective of several characters: Priam, king of Troy, condemned to make bad decisions for the right reasons; the Greek princess Helen, a beauty enslaved to her desires who leaves a dull husband for the love of another beauty, as enslaved to his desires as she is—Prince Paris; the war machine haunted by a curse that is Achilles; the heroically noble Hector; the subtle and brilliant Ulysses; Agamemnon, the King of Kings, who consents to horror in order to launch his thousand ships into the sea and who, for this very reason, incurs the enmity of his wife, Clytemnestra. Without abandoning their heroic nature, they retain their semi-divine character and fascinate the reader, leading them to empathize with Greece and Troy as each moves inexorably toward an outcome not even the Gods can prevent.
