À propos de cet audio
Margaret George breathes new life into the great Homeric tale by having Helen narrate her own story. Through her eyes and in her voice, we experience the young Helen's discovery of her divine origin and her terrifying beauty. While hardly more than a girl, Helen married the remote Spartan king Menelaus and bore him a daughter. By the age of 20, the world's most beautiful woman was resigned to a passionless marriage until she encountered the handsome Trojan prince Paris. And once the lovers flee to Troy, war, murder, and tragedy become inevitable.
©2006 Margaret George (P)2006 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and Books on TapeCe que les critiques en disent
"An absorbing retelling of the classic Trojan War myth, and a sobering look at the utter futility of trying to change one's fate." (Booklist)
"George's extraordinary storytelling abilities shine in her portrayal of Helen as both a conflicted woman who abandoned her homeland and child for true love, and as a legendary figure whose beauty and personal choices had epic consequences." (Publishers Weekly)

Just drags on and on..boring and main character is insufferable. Pass.
I heard this compared to Circe. Not a chance! Circe was fascinating and incredible to listen to. This is endless hours of a story of a character not particularly interesting and honestly just selfish and surprisingly stupid for a demigod. I just don’t think I’m a fan of this author. I have tried reading two of her books now and thought I’d enjoy this one since I’m normally a big fan of mythology and historical fiction but this is so vapid.. It’s a gazillion hour book that could’ve been told better in half the time.. And probably should’ve been to avoid being so incredibly boring most of the time. Disappointed.

Beautiful
Great story and good accuracy, true to Homer. Wonderful voice acting. Just one question. Was Gelenore a made up character or are there accounts of his existence?
