A modern epic that reaches back to classic stories to create something new. Worth reading as a tale in itself and as 20th century political worldview. Very heavy with themes of freedom vs. tyranny, adventure and home, leadership, loyalty, bravery, sacrifice, survival, and the importance of story and myth in fostering identity and hope.
We have the Scribner Classics edition and it is beautiful!
