STEP INTO ANOTHER WORLD - OF MAGIC, MAYHEM, MONSTERS AND MANIACAL GODS - IN STEPHEN FRY'S MOMENTOUS SUNDAY TIMES AND AUDIBLE BESTSELLER, MYTHOS

Discover Stephen Fry's magnificent retelling of the greatest myths and legends ever told . . .

No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.

In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld.

Shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments.

Listen with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.

Read by Stephen Fry himself, Mythos captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.

'A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' Times

'A head-spinning marathon of legends' Guardian

'An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit' Evening Standard

‘Read by Fry with his accustomed ebullient showmanship [he] gives the legends modern resonance by telling them with a contemporary colloquial twist' AUDIOBOOK of the WEEK, The Times


If you're enthralled by the magic of Greek mythology you'll love the final instalment to Fry’s retellings, ODYSSEY, a legendary voyage of peril, temptation, loss and epic adventure.

Commentaires

The Greek myths are told to you here by the ever-soothing voice of Stephen Fry, who takes you from Zeus to Athena with his typical humour. The Greek gods of the past become relatable as pop culture, modern literature and music are woven throughout. It is joyfully informal yet full of the literary legacy threaded through so much of the tapestry of contemporary Greece
Wit and erudition are impressively evident . . . Read by Fry with his accustomed ebullient showmanship [he] gives the legends modern resonance by telling them with a contemporary colloquial twist' (AUDIOBOOK of the WEEK)
Mythos is the best thing he's written since his superb first novel . . . it is entertaining and edifying - one cannot really ask for more than that
Fry's lively writing certainly conveys his lifelong passion for Greek myths . . . It's a rollicking good read
Fry reimagines the Greek myths with wit, warmth and humanity, bringing them into the modern age. A welcome addition to any bookshelf
Mythos is Stephen's vivid retelling of the Greek myths. Bringing to life the Gods, monsters and mortals of Ancient Greece, he reimagines their astonishing stories for the modern world.
Perfect for the 21st Century. Ebullient, funny, Fry retells the Greek myths with elegance
A wondrous new immersion in ancient stories we only thought weknew. Page to page, Mythos is brilliant, funny, erudite, inventive, surprising and enthralling (Richard North Patterson)
[Fry] exhibits prodigious learning, a great facility with words, and enormous erudition and enthusiasm
Lively, humorous and intimate, this retelling has real charm

Le plus pertinent
Stephen Fry's narration is lively, he guides you in unexpected places with a rythme which swiftly catches your attention - being an ADHD adult, That makes quite the compliment ! - I was glad to learn of new tales, as he doesn't fall into traps of religiously retelling what was told as such. But he brings his touch and spin, flare, without getting repetitive. He knows where he goes.

Ce livre est passionnant. Pour avoir appris par coeur une encyclopédie sur l'histoire des mythes grecs, le contenu ne m'est pas inconnu mais je l'ai re-découvert avec plaisir. Les histoires sont racontées avec talent et humour. J'adore la manière dont tous ces récits sont rapportés à l'étymologie.
Stephen Fry possède une voix très particulière, agréable et ronde et il sait parfaitement la mettre au profit du récit. Et cet anglais qui parfait !
Franchement, c'était excellent !

Passionnant et tellement bien lu

Sur le fond, c'est une compilation assez complète des grands récits de la mythologie grecque, de la création du monde au roi Midas en passant par la Titanomachie et les récits des tours cruels joués aux humains par les Dieux...

Sur la forme, Stephen Fry livre (comme de coutume) une interprétation absolument magistrale de son livre (après tout, on n'est jamais aussi bien servi que par soi-même), avec une diction parfaite qui facilite grandement la compréhension quand on est pas totalement bilingue !
Il connait et aime le sujet et on sent qu'il s'investit dans la lecture, avec par moment des "pics d'intensité" qui feraient presque penser qu'on est en train d'écouter un grand roman d'aventures ! :)

Bref, un sans-faute, que je ne peux que conseiller aux anglophones fans de mythologie grecque !

Du grand Stephen Fry (comme d'habitude)
