When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem \u003ci\u003eThe Psoad\u003c\/i\u003e, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its modern footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition and grief. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  In this masterpiece of myth and history, \u003ci\u003eSon of Nobody\u003c\/i\u003e explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYann Martel is the author of a short story collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios\u003c\/i\u003e, and of four novels, \u003ci\u003eSelf, Beatrice \u0026amp; Virgil, Life of Pi \u003c\/i\u003e(for which he was awarded the 2002 Man Booker Prize), and his latest, \u003ci\u003eThe High Mountains of Portugal\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eLife of Pi \u003c\/i\u003ewas adapted for the silver screen by Ang Lee, garnering four Oscars.
