Cosa rimane oggi dell’Iliade e dell’Odissea? È possibile raccontarle ancora? È questa la sfida di Eroi, il nuovo libro di Andrea Pennacchi, che accompagna i lettori e il pubblico alla scoperta di questi due classici, rileggendo l’epica omerica e arricchendo la narrazione di riflessioni, ricordi e fantasie. Così la guerra sotto le mura di Troia risuona nelle lance che battono sugli scudi degli eroi di un tempo; così il ritorno di Odisseo verso Itaca si popola di creature e di voci, mentre le onde si infrangono sul legno.
