Thais of Athens
Ivan Efremov (1908-1972) is known not only as an outstanding science fiction writer but also as the creator of historical novels.
The novel "Thais of Athens" immerses the reader in the era of antiquity, with a credible depiction of religious cults...
and daily details of that time, skillfully showcasing society's passion for art and poetry.
At the heart of the narrative is the burning of Persepolis - one of the capitals of the Persian empire.
Real historical figures come to life within the pages of the book - Thais, the Athenian hetaera and companion of kings and commanders, the admiral Nearchus, King Ptolemy of Egypt, and of course, the most enigmatic figure of ancient history - Alexander the Great.
"Thais of Athens" is not just a novel about a beautiful woman; it is a novel about harmony within a person.
Journeys, romantic entanglements, and the soul's torments of the characters intertwine with the author's philosophical and aesthetic reflections.
