Review:
"THE FALL OF TROY is provoking, unsettling, ingenious - and a delight to read."
Barry Unsworth, Guardian (London), 10/21/2006
Review:"Here, as elsewhere in his distinguished career as a novelist and biographer, Ackroyd manages the difficult trick of making history as entertaining as fiction. The ending of this richly imagined work is as gripping as any thriller-- to give away more would be to spoil it."
Christina Koning, Times (London), 08/25/2007

Book Description: Anchor Books, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 203 x 134 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In "The Fall of Troy," acclaimed novelist and historian Peter Ackroyd creates a fascinating narrative that follows an archaeologist's obsession with finding the ruins of Troy, depicting the blurred line between truth and deception.Obermann, an acclaimed German scholar, fervently believes that his discovery of the ancient ruins of Troy will prove that the heroes of the "Iliad," a work he has cherished all his life, actually existed. But Sophia, Obermann's young Greek wife, has her suspicions about his motivations -- suspicions that only increase when she finds a cache of artifacts that her husband has hidden, and when a more skeptical archaeologist dies from a mysterious fever. With exquisite detail, Ackroyd again demonstrates his ability to evoke time and place, creating a brilliantly told story of heroes and scoundrels, human aspirations and follies, and the temptation to shape the truth to fit a passionately held belief.
