Giovanni Nucci, the author of The Gods at Six O’Clock, which explains the Iliad from the perspective of the gods, told Il Messaggero: “It’s fantastic.”
"I’d like to find the person caught red-handed and give him the book, because he’ll have been arrested halfway through reading it. I’d like him to be able to finish it.
I like this writer
Mr Nucci said his personal favourite deity was Hermes, the god of thieves.
“He is also the god of literature. It is clear: everything fits,” he joked.
Can you think of a greater honor for an author than “your book is so good that a guy stopped burglarizing a home just to read it?”
Also:
He is said to have told police he had climbed the building to visit a person he knew.
“I thought I had ended up in a B&B, saw the book and started to read it.”
Im not sure whether this guy really is a burglar or a troll.
Just… take the book. 🤦♂️
It was so engrossing that he had to sit down and read it right there. It was that good.
I’m trying to find an English copy 😅
Don’t keep it in your car. You might be driving down the road and glance at it. You won’t be able to prevent what will happen next.
I don’t know what happened officer, I have this book on tape and suddenly I was transported to Ancient Greece!!
Some good viral marketing right there!
So much for that “thieves don’t read” meme.
Now I want to read this book, sadly it seems like it’s Italian only
Bookstores in Iraq will never be the same.
The article is put together weirdly. It seems to jump from one point to another and back again
Maybe it’s structured like the novel.
