Stephen Fry - Mítosz BK24-176695

In Mítosz, Stephen Fry retells Greek mythology from the very beginning up to the story of King Midas. Written in the modern, lively voice of the English comedian, the classic tales are by turns joyfully funny, movingly beautiful or heartbreakingly sad, and consistently witty throughout.

No prior knowledge or classical education is needed to enjoy the book. Like Greek mythology itself, it contains no academic discussion or abstract philosophising. What it offers is a collection of gripping, entertaining and easy-to-follow stories with strikingly human characters.

The 352-page volume was published by Kossuth Publishing in hardcover with a protective dust jacket. For anyone who wants to discover the world of Greek myths in a light, contemporary form, Stephen Fry's humorous retelling is an excellent choice.
