波西傑克森: 希臘天神報告

內容簡介

內容簡介 現代混血人代表波西‧傑克森出書了！紐約的出版社邀請他來寫一本介紹希臘天神和神話的書。儘管坊間關於希臘天神的出版品百百種，但看在與天神實際接觸過的混血英雄眼中，顯然少了點什麼。既然如此，那就讓超人氣混血英雄──波西‧傑克森親口說出他所認識的天神世界。 這可是他冒著生命危險寫下的一本書，大家也知道，天神的脾氣陰晴不定，說不定波西的忠實介紹反倒犯了他們的大忌。書中除了娓娓道來主要天神的故事與天神間的關係，還加上了波西個人的現代化詮釋，讓你在閱讀過程中時而捧腹、時而驚歎；或許感想會是：這些天神的世界，還真是亂得有趣！A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because I don't need the Olympians mad at me again.But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then I guess writing all this down will be my good deed for the week.So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Age for all that."This novel-sized paperback, complete with an insert of full-color illustrations by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, is portable and friendly, and the ideal way to introduce young readers to the classic stories.Praise for Percy Jackson's Greek Gods"Percy's gift, which is no great secret, is to breathe new life into the gods. Closest attention is paid to the Olympians, but Riordan has a sure touch when it comes to fitting much into a small space-as does Rocco's artwork, which smokes and writhes on the page as if hit by lightning. . .The inevitable go-to for Percy's legions of fans who want the stories behind his stories."-Kirkus Reviews"The age-old stories are endlessly strong, resonant, and surprising, while the telling here is fresh, irreverent, and amusing. Percy's voice. . . John Rocco illustrates the myths with drama, verve, and clarity. A must-have addition to the Percy Jackson canon."-Booklist Online"Combining the sarcasm and wit of Percy Jackson with the original Greek myths is a great way to hook tweens and teens on the stories without boring them. The beautiful illustrations by John Rocco enhance each story. . ."-VOYA
