Resumen del Editor
Bloomsbury presents The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, read by Frazer Douglas.
The international sensation.
Winner of the Orange Women's Prize for Fiction.
A Sunday Times and New York Times best seller.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son, Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles' mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

Historia
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Historia
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

A Captivating Ode to Love, Fate, and Heroism
The Song of Achilles, written by Madeline Miller, is an exquisite masterpiece that gracefully brings to life one of Greek mythology's most iconic tales. Blending history and mythology with a touch of romance, Miller weaves an enchanting narrative that captures the essence of human emotions, illuminates the complexity of relationships, and explores the true meaning of heroism.
At the heart of this epic is the tender and powerful bond between Patroclus, an exiled prince, and Achilles, the legendary hero of the Trojan War. From their initial meeting as young boys to their tumultuous journey through adolescence and war. Miller's portrayal of their relationship is both delicate and intense, filling the pages with vulnerability and unwavering loyalty.
Miller's writing style is as poetic as the legends themselves. Her prose glides effortlessly, painting vivid scenes of ancient Greece, immersing the reader in a world of gods and mortals. She masterfully combines vivid descriptions with introspective moments, capturing the inner struggles and desires of her characters. The author's meticulous research is evident, as she seamlessly incorporates elements of Greek mythology, weaving them into the fabric of the story with authenticity and reverence.
I could not recommend this book more.

Miller is a marvel
An excellent follow up to Circe, Miller’s story telling creates rich characters that pull the listener in and her style is perfectly suited to this period of classical history and mythology.

Beautiful story with amazing prose!
Yet another fantastic book by Miller! I couldn’t put it down. The intro was a bit slow but so necessary. It exceeded all expectations. Cannot recommend it enough. The narrator is amazing and embodies the characters in a phenomenal way.

Meh... but okay if you want a light read.
I don't feel that this book brought anything new or interesting to this well known story (besides making the gay romance between the protagonists much more explicit, which is fine). It just made me want to rewatch the movie Troy. This is a very okay book and was the perfect pallette cleanser between heavier reads. Perfect for your mom's book club or for dozing off to on the beach.
