The author takes the story of the civilization of Troy and the Trojan war and relates the incidents before, during, and after the war with current news events. The book opens with Hecuba, Queen of Troy, crying out in her sleep from a bad dream. The king sends for a diviner of dreams, the Priest of Apollo, who interprets her dreams. This scene connects to a leak that Nancy and Ronald Reagan consulted astrologers and Nancy believed that events are dictated by the stars. The author places well-researched news articles and events along side the events that unfold during the story of the Trojan War. This was a truly unique book; I've never read anything else like it. I was very impressed. Dateline: Troy re-tells The Iliad in a shorter form and more modern language, and accompanies the story with real life contemporary newspaper articles to demonstrate how the themes of the myth are still relevant in today's society. This is a great way to get kids interested in Greek myths, and will be sure to provoke much discussion. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
