«Els Dotze Treballs d'Hèrcules» is the adaptation by James Riordan and Manuel Otero Toral published by Vicens Vives (paperback, 96 pages, in Catalan).
Hercules, son of Zeus and a mortal, leads a happy life until Hera drives him to commit a heinous crime. To atone, he must perform twelve labors: he defeats a lion, captures a wild bull, fights carnivorous birds and descends into hell. Riordan's version highlights adventure and the struggle between reason and instinct, good and evil.
Part of the Clàssics Adaptats collection. Includes illustrations by Christina Balit and translation by Ramon Masnou.
Recommended for young readers and primary and secondary students, especially in Catalonia, as school reading or reinforcement in Catalan.
James Riordan was an English novelist, broadcaster, sports historian, and Russian scholar.
