  Le Chant d'Achille

  Madeline Miller, Christine Auché

  • Rue Fromentin
  • 20 Mars 2014
  • 9782919547265

  Madeline Miller revisite l'Iliade et la Guerre de Troie en se concentrant sur les personnages d'Achille et de Patrocle. Ce dernier, après voir accidentellement tué un homme, est exilé dans le royaume de Phtie. Il y rencontre Achille qui est tout ce qu'il n'est pas : un jeune prince brillant, aimé et admiré. Patrocle devient son écuyer. Rien ne devrait les rapprocher et, pourtant, les deux jeunes hommes nouent des liens d'amitiés très forts qui évoluent en passion amoureuse.
  Achille sait qu'il est appelé à vivre un destin exceptionnel, celui d'un Dieu. Il s'engage donc immédiatement pour faire le siège de Troie. Patrocle, beaucoup moins héroïque, suit son ami à contre coeur. La guerre de Troie éprouvera les deux hommes. Elle ébranlera leur histoire d'amour et remettra également en question leurs convictions les plus profondes. Contre toute attente, c'est Patrocle qui trouvera une mort héroïque, vaincu par la colère des dieux. Achille, dévasté, rongé par le chagrin et la culpabilité, mourra à son tour.

  The song of achilles

  Madeline Miller

  • Bloomsbury UK
  • 21 Septembre 2017
  • 9781408891384

  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.
