Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative follows Charon, who is appointed as the cleaner of the Styx after the unexpected arrival of a houseboat. The book consists of twelve stories, each featuring figures from mythology and history, exploring their unique tales without a central theme. Notably, it presents a humorous take on the literary debate surrounding Shakespeare's authorship, suggesting that famous historical figures like Sir Francis Bacon and Sir Walter Raleigh played a role in writing his plays. The sequel, The Pursuit of the House-Boat, continues with the mystery of the boat's disappearance.
