Produktinformationen zu „Weight “
Condemned to shoulder the world for ever by the gods he dared defy, freedom seems unattainable to Atlas. But then he receives an unexpected visit from Heracles, the one man strong enough to share the burden - and it seems they can strike a bargain that might release him...

Part of the successful Myths series, which was simultaneously published in over 36 countries, featuring internationally renowned authors such as Margaret Atwood, Karen Armstrong, Victor Pelevin and Alexander McCall Smith.
