The Song of Achilles

Who among us has not devoured the myths of Ancient Greece in our youth? Who hasn't wanted to look beyond the rigid boundaries of the genre, to get closer to the ancient world, to meet the gods and heroes, to understand their motives, which are sometimes incomprehensible? It is no wonder that Madeline Miller's debut novel instantly won the hearts of readers. On the pages of 'The Song of Achilles', one of the most interesting characters of the 'Iliad' tells his story - Patroclus, the companion of the incomparable Achilles. A timid, unremarkable prince, who accidentally kills a peer, is sent into exile to the court of Peleus, where he finds a best friend and love for a lifetime. But how long can two boys resist the whims of cruel gods, the intrigues of warlords, and ominous prophecies?
