Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods' wrath.

They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.

Dapitan Schoolboy: A Novel by Patricia Laurel, published by Bughaw (an imprint of Ateneo de Manila University Press)

--
"At 12 Joselito had just gone through all the schooling available in his tiny hometown of Dapitan and wondered what awaited him in life without further education. Then one night he saw a stranger disembark on the shore accompanied by soldiers headed for the Casa Real. Later it was rumored that the stranger was a dangerous man, best for all to stay away from. But curious and observant from a distance, Joselito came to believe otherwise, and pleaded with his parents to approach the man.

Jose Rizal went on to open a secondary-level school for boys in Dapitan and did all the teaching himself until his exile in that town came to an end.

This is the story of a young person’s discovery of the wondrous world of knowledge and the unjust world of men. Joselito left Dapitan with his maestro and kept daily service to him in prison at Fort Santiago. He witnessed the ex*****on on the field of Bagumbayan.

This, too, is the story of Rizal’s last years in life, from 1892 to 1896, quietly prodigious and magnanimous to the townsfolk, stimulating and inspiring to his students, ultimately self-sacrificing to his nation, as intimately witnessed and shared by the Dapitan schoolboy."

“Secondhand books had so much life in them. They'd lived, sometimes in many homes, or maybe just one. Theyd been on airplanes, traveled to sunny beaches, or crowded into a backpack and taken high up on a mountain where the air thinned.”
― Rebecca Raisin, The Little Bookshop on the Seine
