Synopsis
La mitología al alcance de todos. Stephen Fry nos relata las apasionantes aventuras de los héroes griegos.
Acción, amor, aventura, traición, violencia, codicia, transgresiones, sangre, redención, peligros, sacrificios, trampas, argucias... Todo esto y mucho más encontrará el lector en este libro, en el que Stephen Fry –actor, escritor, activista cultural– nos relata las andanzas de los héroes de la mitología griega.
Para quienes leyeron Mythos, este libro es su continuación natural (a los que no lo leyeron, se les recomienda hacerlo junto a este Héroes, porque el disfrute está garantizado). Y si Mythos se centraba en los dioses y titanes, aquí se centra la atención en los héroes humanos. Y así, en estas páginas se suceden las andanzas de Jasón embarcado en una difícil misión, Prometeo sometido a un horrendo castigo, Belerofonte dando caza al caballo alado Pegaso para enfrentarse a la quimera, Orfeo ante la prueba definitiva por amor hacia Eurídice, Teseo frente al minotauro y el laberinto, Edipo encarándose a la esfinge, Ícaro con las alas que deberían conducirle hacia la libertad…
Mezclando rigor y altas dosis de amenidad, lo que aquí se nos cuenta son las peripecias dramáticas, fantásticas y muchas veces delirantes de los personajes de los mitos griegos, guiados siempre por actitudes, decisiones y pasiones muy humanas.

About the Author
Stephen Fry (Londres, 1957) es una figura tan célebre como polifacética. Siendo estudiante de Literatura Inglesa en el Queens’ College de Cambridge, se unió al prestigioso Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club, un club de teatro aficionado fundado en 1883. Guionista, dramaturgo, presentador de televisión y actor, es conocido por sus papeles en películas como Los amigos de Peter, Wilde, Gosford Park, Guía del autoestopista galáctico o Tristram Shandy. Ha demostrado además sus dotes para la divulgación histórica como presentador del programa de la BBC QI (Quite Interesting). Además de su novela El mentiroso, Anagrama ha publicado Mythos, Héroes y Troya, una serie de ensayos en los que revisita la mitología griega con una exquisita mezcla de erudición e ironía. Con Odisea Fry pone el broche final a ese proyecto.

Donnie is tired of playing the bad guy every time he and his friends get together to play war. According to the other kids, Donnie should play the enemy-after all, as a Japanese American he looks like them. Instead, Donnie wishes they could just play his favorite game, football.When he argues that his family served in the U.S. Army, Donnie's friends laugh and dare him to prove it. But when he asks his father and Uncle Yosh for proof, they tell him that kids should play something else besides war. Real heroes don't brag, Uncle Yosh says. They just do what they are supposed to do.Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, this intergenerational story explores how one family deals with the painful legacy of war and prejudice. In their powerful follow-up to the award-winning Baseball Saved Us, Ken Mochizuki and Dom Lee once again present young readers with American heroes they won't usually find in history books, but who they can always hold in their hearts.
