This engrossing tale paints a portrait of contradictions -- a man at once stingy and lavishly generous, a scholar both shrewd and reckless, a speaker of twenty-two languages and a man with a funny habit of taking liberties with the truth. Laura Amy Schlitz and Robert Byrd open a discussion about how history sometimes comes to be written, and how it sometimes needs to be changed.\u003cbr\u003eBack matter includes source notes and a bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763665043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e107348 \/ Hero Schliemann: The Dreamer Who Dug for Troy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Laura Amy Schlitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935525474485,"sku":"9780763665043","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8d4216ef-9350-4edf-be05-dde98a3cbcf2.jpg?v=1688488669","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hero-schliemann-the-dreamer-who-dug-for-troy-9780763665043","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
