Sen o Tróji

by Heinrich Alexander Stoll

Воспользовавшись гомеровской "Илиадой" как "путеводителем", он раскопал Трою и Микены. Именно благодаря Генриху Шлиману человечество убедилось в подлинности троянской войны, считавшейся долгое время всего лишь красивой легендой. Жизненный путь этого "великого кладоискателя" удивляет и восхищает порой сильнее древнегреческого эпоса. Познакомиться с перипетиями насыщенной и динамичной жизни гениального археолога-любителя можно благодаря данной книге, написанной известным немецким писателем Генрихом Александром Штолем.

Even though I usually don't like biographies, I quite liked this book. I've heard of Heinrich Schliemann before I read the book, but I didn't know how exiting his life was. I was so impressed with his thirst for adventures, his constant desire to learn and his incredible determination to fulfill his childhood dream, and discover the mythical Troy.

wheres the mention of dynamite

Es war eine gute Veranschaulichung seines Lebens. Es ist unglaublich, dass dieser Mann bei den Menschen so in Vergessenheit geraten ist, wo er doch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit das geschafft hat, was doch unmöglich schien. Warum so ein Buch nicht Pflichtlektüre ist, weiß ich auch nicht.

De cele mai multe ori, lăsând la o parte talentul autorului, succesul unei biografii depinde de personalitatea și de renumele celui căruia i-a fost dedicată.
Iar aici Heinrich Schliemann, cel de care se leagă una dintre cele mai mari descoperiri, identificarea urmelor vechii cetăți grecești Troia (situată în Asia Mică, astăzi pe teritoriul Turciei) punctează în mod seris la ambele capitole.
Interesant este că Schliemann, pe vremea când a purces în această întreprinere ce avea să-l facă celebru, nu era alteva decât un diletant animat de entuziasm, dar tenacitatea și flerul care l-au făcut apoi proverbial l-au ajutat să intre în elita istoricilor arheologi.

Książka ukazująca życie archeologa-amatora, który napędzany dziecięcymi marzeniami odkopuje wiele bardzo cennych zabytków (Troja, Mykeny, Tyryns). Pozycja obowiązkowa dla każdego, kto jest zainteresowany starożytnością (szczególnie z okolic Morza Egejskiego)

Read it many years ago, but I loved this book. Not sure how much is it historically correct, but it nail picturing Schliemann as a man with a big dream.
