Can you judge a book by its cover? I hope so, given the beautiful cover of the Turkish translation of my Trojan War! Thank you @KronikKitap

Akhilleus, Hektor, Agamemnon, Menelaos ve Paris Troya Ovası’nda karşı karşıya gelmişler ve güzel Helene uğruna ölene dek çarpışmışlar mıydı? Yoksa bütün bu anlatılanlar bir ozanın, Homeros’un uydurmaları mıydı? @barrystrauss'un kaleminden... kronikkitap.com/kitap/troya-sa…
