HEROES is a sequence of remarkable stories. Each of them sheds a different and startling light on the all-but-universal craving for an invincible champion, and each of them features a character so glamorous or intimidating his contemporaries considered him either a devil or a god.

About the Author:
Lucy Hughes-Hallett is the author of CLEOPATRA: HISTORIES, DREAMS AND DISTORTIONS which was published in 1990 to wide acclaim. CLEOPATRA won the Fawcett Prize and the Emily Toth Award. Lucy Hughes-Hallett reviews for the Sunday Times. This is her second book.
Review:
Praise for Lucy Hughes-Hallet's first book, CLEOPATRA: 'Brilliant and discursive.' ANTONIA FRASER, THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating, wide-ranging, highly-coloured, hugely energetic.' HILARY SPURLING, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Lucy Hughes-Hallett writes very well, with a sometimes epigrammatic edge... Quite brilliantly she elicits from the publicised extravagance of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's real-life, jet-set reprise of Antony and Cleopatra, an essay on the spiritual worth of prodigality, seen as a Rabelaisian, Dionysian 'holy foolishness'' JOHN UPDIKE, NEW YORK TIMES 'A delightful book, written with grace and intelligence and brimming with entertaining illustrations and bizarre information' CHRISTOPHER HUDSON, EVENING STANDARD
