This book of the series "Great Travelers" presents a unique person to the modern Russian reader - the great archaeologist Henry Shliman (1822-1890).
Since the 42 -year -old millionaire, the successful businessman has closed his company to give all his strength, money and passion for the realization of his hungry childhood - to find the legendary Troy for centuries, without a half century passed. Whatever epithets were awarded to Shliman during his life and after: he was called the great discoverer, and a brilliant seer, and an adventurer, and a mystifier, and a businessman from archeology.
Very few can compare on the scale of archaeological and historical discoveries with Henry Shliman. Brilliant organizational abilities, literary talent, passion for traveling, faith in their luck, a large share of adventurism, a tendency to hoax - all this was fully inherent in him. But the most important thing is that the Troy open and investigated by Shliman, Mycena, Tirinf, Orkhomen became America and Australia for mankind, northern and southern poles, great straits that connected civilizations: sung by Homer and other authors of antiquity and our time
