Where it came from
The Hero Schliemann was published by Candlewick Press in 2006 as a biographical exploration of Heinrich Schliemann, the amateur archaeologist famous for his excavations at the sites of Troy and Mycenae. Author Laura Amy Schlitz crafted the narrative to capture the complex, often controversial legacy of a man who pursued his childhood obsession with Homeric epics through unconventional and frequently destructive archaeological methods.
The book is notable for its illustrative style, featuring detailed, expressive artwork that brings the 19th-century setting to life. Schlitz’s writing focuses on the tension between Schliemann's genuine historical discoveries and his tendency to embellish the truth, offering readers a balanced look at the persistence required for his findings and the ethical questions surrounding his work. It has been widely recognized for its contribution to juvenile historical biography, balancing scholarly interest with an engaging, accessible prose style.
