Description:
Author Irving Stone became a specialist in biographical novels 41 years before this publication. This story features archaeologists who unearthed the ancient city of Troy and the Mycenaean tombs. Henry Schliemann, 47, and Sophia Engastromenos, 17, joined their lives together in exploration and discovery. Henry had already made 3 fortunes, and Sophia was first, an eager apprentice archaeologist, later respected for her scholarship. In their pursuits they endured insults by humans and the natural world, ugliness in detractors, and ultimately success in their discoveries. A treasure trove of letters among the family formed a basis for this biographical novel. Frontispiece is Pen&Ink; map of the Aegean Sea region. The prior owner to this volume signed the inside front end paper, where an artist's rendition illustrates a sampling of the scope of their work. Jacket has large back cover edge chip.
