A compelling work of biographical history, One Passion, Two Loves: The Schliemanns of Troy chronicles the remarkable partnership of Heinrich Schliemann and his wife Sophia — the driven, visionary archaeologist and the brilliant Greek woman who stood beside him as he pursued one of history's greatest obsessions. The book details their shared quest to uncover the legendary city of Troy, transforming ancient myth into archaeological reality through sheer determination and intellectual ambition. Written with warmth and narrative authority, Lynn and Gray Poole present not only the story of a groundbreaking archaeological endeavour but also a portrait of a deeply intertwined marriage, where personal passion and professional pursuit were inseparable. The result is a vivid account of nineteenth-century discovery that illustrates how love and obsession can together reshape our understanding of the ancient world.
