Brought to you by Penguin.
'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales' -- Observer
THE #1 BESTSELLER.
AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.
'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'
When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.
Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.
Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.
And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .
In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.
If you're enthralled by the magic of Greek mythology you'll love the final instalment to Fry’s retellings, ODYSSEY, a legendary voyage of peril, temptation, loss and epic adventure.
'A fun romp through the world's greatest story. Fry's knowledge of the world - ancient and modern - bursts through' Daily Telegraph
'Hugely successful, graceful' The Times
'Fluent, crisp, nuanced, begins with a bang' The Times Literary Supplement

Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Zügellosigkeit, Lebenslust, Mord und Totschlag, Triumph und Tragödie: Die griechischen Göttersagen sind wilder und wüster als das Leben selbst und bieten damit alles, was sich Leser wünschen.

Wir verlieben uns mit Zeus, sehen die Geburt der Athene, nehmen mit Kronos und Gaia Rache an Uranos, wir weinen mit König Midas und jagen mit der wunderschönen und furchtlosen Artemis.

Again a great recount of the popular story. Great narration by the author SF. As Myths and Heroes is bringing the classical to a modern era without losing the essence of the story.

Stephen fry, you are a marvel.
Following up on Stephen's previous books on the series, I am still drawn like a moth to a flame to his exquisite performance and storytelling. My already strong love for Greek history and myth only grow stronger. Thank you so much. I enjoyed every minute of it.

just another amazing book by Stephen Fry who by all means should be granted Greek citizenship.
not only it makes a very well-told story compelling but his own performance in narrating this book makes it worthwhile to read and read again or listen and listen again

Good old stories
Having learnt about the old Greeks in primary school this book provides a perfect retelling of the stories refreshes my memories.
Having listened to Mythos, Heroes and now Troy, I am waiting impatiently for the next book. That would be the Odyssey.

Fry does it again!
One cannot have higher expectations when listening to Stephen Fry and Troy, given his very exciting Mythos and Heroes books. Mr. Fry delivers and exceeds the expectations set by his previous successes in my opinion. His delivery is bar none and his take on the mythology/history is truthful and, for someone that is truly knowledgeable on the subject, his opinion is very much appreciated.
Highly recommended audiobook for everyone!
