Beskrivelse
The Fall of Icarus: Hubris and Tragedy is a young adult novel that reimagines the classic myth of Icarus, weaving a tale of courage, defiance, and redemption. Told from the first-person perspective of Icarus, the story follows him and his companions-Ariadne, Leander, and Nestor-as they flee the tyrannical rule of King Minos after breaking the curse of the labyrinth and freeing the Minotaur. On the run across the dangerous seas and seeking allies in distant islands, the group faces relentless pursuit by the king's forces and mysterious creatures that haunt their every step. As they struggle to survive, Icarus is haunted by the legacy of his father, Daedalus, and driven by a desire to fight back against the darkness that threatens to consume them all. With themes of hubris, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope, this novel explores the strength found in unity and the resilience of the human spirit against seemingly insurmountable odds.
