  • - Genfortælling af de græske myter
    af Stephen Fry
    143,94 - 218,94 kr.

    Stephen Fry indfanger den græske mytologis vindunderlige historier og dens relevans for den moderne læser. De græske myter er blandt de mest indflydelsesrige historier, der nogensinde er blevet fortalt, nedarvet gennem årtusinder. De har inspireret forfattere og kunstnere fra Shakespeare til Michelangelo og fra James Joyce til Walt Disney. Historierne er dybt forankret i den vestlige kulturs DNA og tradition. I Stephen Frys hænder bliver fortællingerne om titanerne og guderne en underholdende og velfortalt indføring i krigsførelse, rivalisering, tilbedelse, erotik, kærlighed, livsvisdom, triumfer og tragedie. "I en tid præget af hastig glemsel og grov overfladiskhed er det en vigtig gestus, Fry gør med Mythos, der sigter efter at genfortælle de vigtigste græske myter, så alle er velkomne; det skal være en fornøjelse. Kan anbefales både til folk og fæ, unge som gamle, vidende såvel som ignoranter." Weekendavisen "Mythos af Stephen Fry er en humoristisk og episk genfortælling af de græske myter ... Mythos var en fremragende læseoplevelse og i skrivende stund årets bedste. Så hvis du er til græske fortællinger, der kan lidt noget andet end Homers trivielle vers, så er Mythos et fint supplement til din samling." Titlen.dk, 5 af 5 stjerner. "En helt fantastisk genfortælling af den lidenskabelige og krigeriske græske mytologi. Stephen Frys store kærlighed til den græske mytologi er tydelig gennem hele bogen, og han sprog er velvalgt, humoristisk uden at dominere …" Lektør "Fornøjeligt uformel, og alligevel fuld af den litterære arv." The Guardian "Perfekt til det 21. århundrede." The Times "Myterne er genfortalt med både humor og med så naturlig en stemme, at det bliver charmerende og en virkelig god læseoplevelse." Litteraterne.com "Den græske mytologis væsen bliver vagt til live og genfortalt på charmerende og levende vis af Stephen Fry." Trolderier.dk, 5 af 5 stjerner "Alt i alt har Stephen Fry skrevet en fremragende bog ... Man behøver ikke at være historisk interesseret for at læse denne bog - den er bare underholdende, fascinerende og fængslende - så sæt i gang ..." Bogfidusen.dk, 6 af 6 stjerner

    Troja. Det mest eventyrlige kongerige i hele verden. Byen, der voksede frem og faldt, ikke én, men to gange. Det er Zeus, gudernes konge, der sætter krigen i gang, da han beder den trojanske prins Paris om at udpege den smukkeste gudinde af alle. Valget står mellem Afrodite, Hera og Athena. For at vinde bestikker Afrodite Paris og lover ham til gengæld verdens smukkeste kvinde, Helena. Der er bare ét problem: Helena er gift med den græske konge, Menelaos. Grækerne sender tusind skibe mod Troja, som de derpå belejrer i ti lange og meget blodige år. Den trojanske krig er forfærdelig og brutal med ofre på begge sider. Grækerne kan ikke besejre trojanerne – og scenen er sat for den ældste og mest storslåede af alle fortællinger, hvor frygtindgydende lidenskaber møder de ædleste idealer og mest nedrige listigheder. Stephen Fry er prisbelønnet komiker, skuespiller, programvært og filminstruktør. Han har været vært i over 180 episoder af det britiske underholdningsprogram QI og har indlæst samtlige Harry Potter-romaner som lydbøger. Han er forfatter til flere bøger, og hans genfortælling af de græske myter i MYTHOS, HELTE og nu TROJA er alle tre Sunday Times-bestellere.

    Stephen Fry invites readers to take a glimpse at his life story in the unputdownable More Fool Me.'Oh dear I am an arse. I expect there'll be what I believe is called an "e;intervention"e; soon. I keep picturing it. All my friends bearing down on me and me denying everything until my pockets are emptied. Oh the shame'In his early thirties, Stephen Fry - writer, comedian, star of stage and screen - had, as they say, 'made it'. Much loved in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, The Liar, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him. What could possibly go wrong?Then, as the 80s drew to a close, he discovered a most enjoyable way to burn the candle at both ends, and took to excess like a duck to breadcrumbs. Writing and recording by day, and haunting a never ending series of celebrity parties, drinking dens, and poker games by night, in a ludicrous and impressive act of bravado, he fooled all those except the very closest to him, some of whom were most enjoyably engaged in the same dance.He was - to all intents and purposes - a high functioning addict. Blazing brightly and partying wildly as the 80s turned to the 90s, AIDS became an epidemic and politics turned really nasty, he was so busy, so distracted by the high life, that he could hardly see the inevitable, headlong tumble that must surely follow . . .Containing raw, electric extracts from his diaries of the time, More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain - revealing a side to him he has long kept hidden.Stephen Fry is an award-winning comedian, actor, presenter and director. He rose to fame alongside Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie (which he co-wrote with Laurie) and Jeeves and Wooster, and was unforgettable as Captain Melchett in Blackadder. He also presented Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive, his groundbreaking documentary on bipolar disorder, to huge critical acclaim. His legions of fans tune in to watch him host the popular quiz show QI each week.
