Sophia passes his test, and soon she is tieing canvas sacking to her legs, so that she can kneel on the hard ground in the trench, removing the earth methodically, identifying salient points, lifting out amphorae and bronze vessels without damaging them.

Zustand: Good. : En 'La caída de Troya', Peter Ackroyd nos transporta al siglo XIX, durante las excavaciones del sitio de la Edad de Bronce de Troya. Heinrich Obermann, un renombrado arqueólogo alemán, está convencido de que su descubrimiento probará la existencia de los héroes de la Ilíada. Su joven esposa griega, Sophia, trabaja diligentemente en el sitio, pero pronto comienza a sospechar de su marido y de los métodos que emplea. A medida que la tensión aumenta y los secretos salen a la luz, Sophia se enfrenta a la tentación de manipular la verdad para que encaje con sus propias creencias. Una historia fascinante sobre aspiraciones humanas, engaños y la búsqueda de la verdad en medio de la historia.
