Crude and stubborn at times, in little glimpses we meet a man--half-human, after all--with a psychology more complex than he appears, entangled in guilt over the ghosts who have haunted him since childhood. A mournful sadness seizes him as he crosses the fleeting silhouettes of a woman and her three children. \"Friends or foe, all those who cross his path end up stiff and worm food,\" ​​comments Linos, the ghost of his childhood music teacher. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Brimming with pathos and dark humor, this portrait of Herakles is a graphic whirlwind leaving little respite and often revealing beautiful surprises. This second volume follows the titular hero on four more of his epic quests, each one a stepping-stone in his growth as both man and god.","brand":"Magnetic Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45662956814487,"sku":"9781942367505","price":1262.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781942367505.webp?v=1769295255","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/herakles-book-2-9781942367505","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
