«El tesoro griego» is the fictionalized biography of Henry and Sophia Schliemann by Irving Stone, published by Plaza & Janés in hardcover (572 pp., in Spanish).
The novel recreates how Henry Schliemann, a Prussian millionaire, left business for archaeology, and how his wife Sophia accompanied him on the excavations. It follows the work that led to the discovery of Troy and of Agamemnon's mask, and argues that the Iliad, the Odyssey and the Aeneid describe real historical settings.
Translation by Ramón Margalef. Original work: The Greek Treasure (1975). The first Spanish edition was published in January 1978 in the Novelistas del día collection.
Of interest to readers of historical fiction, biographies and archaeology, and to those who want to approach the myth of Troy and the Homeric world.
Irving Stone was an American writer, chiefly known for his biographical novels of noted artists, politicians, and intellectuals. Among the best known are Lust for Life (1934), about the life of Vincent van Gogh, and The Agony and the Ecstasy (1961), about Michelangelo.
