5.0 out of 5 stars my review, Feb 28 2000
By Ana Maria Barrenechea (Westboro, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek Treasure (Paperback)
I read this book many, many years ago. It was actually the first Irving Stone book I ever read. I still remember how much I enjoyed reading it, and I can still remember the story. Brilliantly written. You seem to be living among the characters. Irving Stone has the gift to write, all based in real-life facts. Again, a must read for any history-novel lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable, well-researched, fascinating story., Jul 19 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek Treasure (Hardcover)
A biographical novel of an improbable husband-wife team who unearth some of the major archaeological discoveries of recent times. The book held my interest throughout. I appreciated how thoroughly Irving Stone researched and described life and times in the 1800's. His portrayal of Henry and Sophia Schliemann was thoroughly entertaining. Anyone who likes a good human story and appreciates archeology would like this book

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unforgettable True Story of Discovering Troy, Feb 11 2000
By Bank One (Cedar Lake, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek Treasure (Paperback)
Approximately 15 years ago I bought this book aout Heinrich Schlieman, and his discovery of the ancient lost city of Troy. He studied Homer, and believed the city did exist. In his late 40's he met a very young Greek girl in Athens. He asked her father for her hand in marriage, and her father agreed.The museum in Athens holds not only the treasures he unearthed at Troy, but he found the mask of Agamemnon, and other treasures (the Lion's Gate) showering Sophia with these treasures. I loaned this book, and never received it back. I have looked for it for years. I cannot believe this wonderful book has not been reprinted and available. It is Irving Stone at his best.
