Telemachus 特洛马克


After work and before arriving home are the most mysterious hours in a man's life. For Odysseus' son and wife, hours became months, which then turned into twenty years. The original epic poem, the Odyssey, was a one-sided story, told by the absent father, the great hero. Telemachus focuses on the lives of women and children in a world shaped by the wars of heroes. 下班后,回家前——这是男人一生中最神秘的一段时间。奥德修的老婆孩子等他回家吃晚饭,已经等了20年。“爸爸你去哪儿了?” 小王子特洛马克今年刚满20岁,一个介于男孩和男人之间的微妙年龄。他决定出门找爸爸。却不料,整个成人世界的秘密倾泻在他面前…… 《特洛马克》从英雄儿子的角度重新讲述荷马史诗《奥特赛》。
