Spartan
Author(s): Valerio Massimo Manfredi
SECONDHAND BOOKS | General Fiction
Tells us not all of the three hundred Spartan warriors died at the hands of Xerxes, King of the Persians, in the battle of the Thermopylae: two were saved bringing a life-saving message back to the city. This is the saga of a Spartan family, torn apart by a cruel law that forces them to abandon one of their two sons, born lame, to the elements.
2003. A very good copy.
