Corazón de Ulises

In Ulysses' Heart, we accompany Javier Reverte on his journey through Greece, Turkey and Egypt: a journey with culture on his back.

Ulysses' Heart is a book that, since its first edition, has been considered a classic of travel literature in our country. Read and studied in universities and also recommended in numerous guides, profound and entertaining, wise and approachable, this book brings together the best of its author's literature: pedagogy and emotion, knowledge and information, poetry and history, humor and reflection.

Javier Reverte tells us about his journey through the territories of present-day Greece, but he also brings us closer to the territories of Greece's past. And in its pages, he merges the Greece of yesteryear with that of the present. Anyone traveling to today's Greece, intending to understand its imposing legacy at the same time, should carry this book with them. Because Ulysses' Heart is a journey through present-day Greece written for those who want to read it while traveling. And also for those who, without the desire to travel, wish to know how the paths traced by the ancient Greeks were.

Javier Reverte has created a new literary genre with his way of telling people's lives. Recovering such a significant work in this new edition is a way of bringing classical culture closer to readers eager to travel and know, in a language as eternal as it is new.
