Read this beautiful review for my book

Roger12 5.0 out of 5 stars Verified Purchase a poetic voyage to ancient Selinunte Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2025 First of all, author Rocco Spano has created a wonderfully immersive atmosphere - whether through the gentle illustrations, the poetic openings to each chapter, or his clear and engaging prose. I genuinely felt like I was walking the ancient streets of Selinunte, feeling the sea breeze, and playing alongside the local children. One thing that briefly pulled me out of the historical setting was the use of the modern metric system (like kilometers), which didn't exist in Ancient Greece. But perhaps this is part of the author's unique stylistic blend - merging poetry, storytelling, and educational content in a way that makes the book both accessible and multidimensional. I also appreciated how the book weaves historical facts with fiction. Obelius's journey from Megara to Sicily, the founding of Selinunte, and the emphasis on community and daily life made the past feel alive. The simple but informative style makes this a great read not only for adults but also for students learning English or anyone interested in ancient Greek history and Sicilian traditions. It's rare to find a book that teaches while also offering such a pleasant, engaging reading experience.
