このコンテンツについて
From the author of the international bestseller Life of Pi, a brilliant retelling of the Trojan War from two commoners: an ancient soldier and modern scholar.
Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey were not the only ancient tales of the Trojan War—there were others, now vanished but for echoes and fragments, in what is known as the Epic Cycle. In Son of Nobody, Yann Martel imagines one such tale, the Psoad, an epic that follows a goatherd’s son, Psoas of Midea, who leaves his wife and family to fight at Troy. Psoas meets his doom, and the poem of his life is lost—until a Canadian academic studying at Oxford, Harlow Donne, discovers its relics thirty centuries later. As Donne assembles and comments on the fragments in footnotes, he retrieves memories of his wife and daughter, and grapples with questions of ambition, family, and responsibility in both the ancient and modern worlds.
Son of Nobody upends the regal perspective of traditional epics and shows that “the past is never done with, that always there are parallels and returns and repetitions, always the song continues.”
