Markings: none \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compelling biographical portrait, Memoirs of Heinrich Schliemann chronicles the extraordinary life of one of the nineteenth century's most audacious and controversial archaeologists — the man who dreamed of finding Troy and then actually did. Compiled by Leo Deuel from Schliemann's own autobiographical writings, private letters, and detailed excavation reports, the book presents a vivid, self-portrait of a self-made millionaire turned obsessive antiquarian whose fieldwork at Hissarlik and Mycenae rewrote the history of the ancient world. The narrative captures both Schliemann's relentless ambition and his remarkable gift for self-promotion, offering readers an intimate window into the mind of a man who blurred the line between visionary and rogue. Rich in primary source material, this documentary portrait stands as an essential text for anyone drawn to the intersection of adventure, classical scholarship, and the origins of modern archaeology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956380610779,"sku":"2026200008518-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/772dc90d-94aa-4cce-8f9d-7451c77046e7.png?v=1783500542","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008518-secondhand-memoirs-of-heinrich-schliemann-a-documentary-portrait-drawn-from-his-autobiographical-writings-letters-and-excavation-reports","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
