La Canción de la Cabra es una magnífica novela histórica ambientada en la Grecia clásica. Aristón, su personaje principal,es un joven «merillán» espartano, un hijo de «ciudadano». Sólo en dos aspectos resulta diferente de los demás jóvenes de su grupo: por una extraordinaria y exótica belleza de la que él mismo no parece ser consciente, y por la historia que acompañó a su nacimiento.

Book description

Ariston, son of a rich man, taken from his home at the age of seven, forced into daily man-killing exercises, restricted to a single garment in all seasons, kept forever in a state of semi-starvation, and ordered to death duels to prove that he was a Spartan.

Ariston, for whose intimate favors noble women frought harlots.

Ariston, a mortal god who rose from a boyhood in the perfumed brothels of Greece to an incredible destiny on the mighty battlefields of the ancient world.
