«Naves negras ante Troya» is the young adult novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, Manuel Otero and Carlos García Gual, published by Vicens Vives in paperback (176 pages).
The work recreates the Homeric tale of the Trojan War and expands it with the earlier mythical episodes, such as the dispute over the golden apple and Helen's flight with Paris, and the outcome recounted in the Odyssey. The narrative focuses on heroes like Achilles and Hector, marked by pride and fate under the will of the gods.
The original work, «Black Ships Before Troy», was published in 1993. This edition belongs to the «Clásicos Adaptados» collection and includes an introduction, notes and activities.
Recommended for young readers and secondary school students (ages 10 to 15) with an interest in Greek mythology and ancient history.
Rosemary Sutcliff was an English novelist best known for children's books, especially historical fiction and retellings of myths and legends. Although she was primarily a children's author, some of her novels were specifically written for adults. In a 1986 interview she said, "I would claim that my books are for children of all ages, from nine to ninety."
