«Troya» is the historical novel by Gisbert Haefs, published by El País in paperback (511 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the ancient world, the novel weaves the myth of Troy with the political conflicts of the eastern Mediterranean. Solon, an Athenian legislator, travels to Egypt and reconstructs the city's history through the testimonies of Ulysses, the letters of Corinnos, and an Assyrian merchant, in a plot of alliances, betrayals, and memory.
El País Historical Novel Collection, no. 22. Translation by Carlos Fortea; work originally published as «Troja» in 1997.
For readers of historical fiction and Greek mythology.
