Isto foi uma grande empreitada, concluída com sucesso.

As Metamorfoses são um poema composto por quinze livros que reúne mais de 250 episódios (gregos e romanos), uns mitológicos outros não.
Ao longo destes 7 meses li, pesquisei, estudei e reli a maioria dos episódios desta obra, e adorei todos os minutos que passei com os heróis destas histórias, mas no meu coração ficaram:

Apolo e Dafne
Píramo e Tisbe
Perseu e Andrómeda
Medusa
Báucis e Filémon
Pigmalião
Mirra
Vénus e Adónis

Este vai directo para a prateleira dos favoritos.

Thank you so much Netgalley for the review copy in exchange for honest opinion!

There are 17 stories in the book, each accompanied with one or multiple stunning illustrations. Even though I was familiar with some of them, I enjoyed the read. They were easy to understand and kids who are interested in mythology will love this book. All of the stories are intriguing but my personal favourite is the story of Narcissus. I read it several times and it never failed to amaze me. Recommended!
