Beskrivelse
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back. Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men. But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

"When he died, all things swift and beautiful and bright would be buried with him"
I'm currently sitting at my desk crying because:
1. I already wanna read it again
2. I'm scared I'll never find love so pure and real as Achilles's and Patroclus's
3. Knowing that there isn't a movie based on it
4. I already wanna read it again... again
This is such a beautiful love story where I for once feel like I can relate to the main character. This book really plays with your heart, sometimes I feel like I will never feel as loved nor as lonely as I did while reading this book, I love it!
Please excuse me while I cry myself to sleep..
