La guerra de Troya

by Nicolás Schuff, Mariana Ruiz Johnson (Ilustradora)

Esta es la historia de una larga guerra entre griegos y troyanos. Homero la contó hace 3000 años; hoy vuelven a contarla Nicolás Schuff, sin mentir ni en una coma, y Mariana Ruiz Johnson, que retrata a sus bellos héroes para que los conozcamos mejor.

Aunque este enfrentamiento ocurrió hace mucho tiempo, sus protagonistas eran parecidos a nosotros: se enamoraban, se peleaban, defendían sus ciudades y se lanzaban a la aventura cada vez que encontraban la oportunidad. Tenían muy buenas ideas: ¡una de ellas que incluyó a un caballo fue tan extraordinaria que logró terminar con la guerra!

Sometimes you read middle grade books that work for all ages, others are specifically for children... and this one was not for me... I think if you just want to know the poem, this is a good way to learn it!! But it wasn't enough for me... I know this is not the place to talk about opinions and theories, but the way things were written as facts, it bothered me, to present Homer as a blind poet, when you don't know if the man really existed... to not speak of the studies of the placing of Troy - again I know this is not the place for it, but it bothered me...
I do appreciate the book didn't shy away from the death and war (even making a parallel with the wars still going nowadays), and even speaking of the rape and kidnapping of women... and then on the other hand they're speaking of Briseis as a "lover" of Achilles, and Patrocles as his friend (which again I get, but I wanted something about other theories about them being lovers)...
On another note, the book also seemed to very strongly side with the Trojans... and I don't know but it feels weird to take a side here... and it read very much like that!!!
Overall, I think this is good for kids, but if you've studied classics, this may frustrate you!!! You may want more than just be told a tale...
