Héroes de Papel continues to show its catalog of editorial premieres for this second half of the year. This time, it’s Kratos’ turn. The Spanish publishing house announces this July 2 ‘The Tragedy of the Ghost of Sparta: The Myth Through the God of War Saga‘, his book dedicated to the universe of the famous license of SIE Santa Monica Studio.
Written by Laura Luna, MeriStation collaborator, the book analyzes what is already one of the most important series in our industry; with the added point of having the prologue written by David Jaffe, creator of the original work.
The Tragedy of the Ghost of Sparta: The Myth Through the God of War Saga
A benchmark in the genre of hack and slash From the generation of PlayStation 2, this essay seeks to bring his story closer to analysis; from mythological and cultural references to what has led its protagonist, Kratos, to become a tragic hero with very different feelings. Not only does it talk about the extensive video game portfolio, but it also delves into the transmedia component of the license, a media franchise with a presence in video games, comics and novels.
Pain, blood and violence through God of War are some of the aspects that emerge from this volume, on sale next October 6, 2021 in bookstores and department stores. As is usual in the publisher, and as in ‘The Nintendo 64 Encyclopedia’, all editions are published in hardcover and in full color. And yes, we speak in the plural, since there is a Standard Edition and one special edition.
The latter, exclusively for sale on the Heroes de Papel website, will be reserved for silver and gold members of the community. As of that date, all interested parties will be able to buy this special limited edition from the Heroes de Papel web portal, which includes the book; a box of exclusive design with luxury finishes; a sheet; a gold pin; a certificate; and finally a bookmark.
