? A wonderful exploration into the maturation process across the course of human life ? Laid to waste by drink, Agathon, a seer, is a shell of a man. He sits imprisoned with his apprentice, Peeker, for his presumed involvement in a rebellion against the Spartan tyrant Lykourgos. Confined to a cell, the men produce extraordinary writings that illustrate the stories of their lives and ?give witness to Agathon?s deterioration and the growth of Peeker from a bashful young apprentice to a self-assured and passionate seer. ? Captivating and imaginative, The Wreckage of Agathon is a tribute to author John Gardner?s passion for ancient storytelling and those universal themes that span the course of all human civilization. ? ? ? This ebook features a new illustrated biography of John Gardner, including original letters, rare photos, and never-before-seen documents from the Gardner family and the University of Rochester Archives. ?
