This book was shortlisted for the 2018 Caen Literary Prize. In March 2019, Macron and his wife made a special trip to Nice, France, to arrange a private dinner for President Xi Jinping and his wife at the "Kingfisher Villa" on the Côte d'Azur. This book was presented to President Xi Jinping as one of the gifts by President Macron. Kingfisher Villa, a famous building on the Mediterranean coast of France, is the representative of a series of villas. It was built in the early 20th century and was designed by the versatile Theodore Heine (an archaeologist, jurist, mathematician, philosopher, politician, etc.). Theodore was the brother of Joseph and Solomon, and the three of them were inseparable, both bearded and equally learned. This villa decorated in Greek style is also a treasure trove of French cultural treasures. This villa allows the protagonist Achilles to step out of his small world and discover a world full of dreams and poetry. Achilles, a painter who is over 70 years old, returns to this villa that has been turned into a museum as an ordinary person. He was a neighbor of the villa, witnessed its construction, and spent his youth in Kingfisher Villa, immersed in the civilization of ancient Greece like the other children of the extended family. Years later, he returned to Kingfisher Villa as he grew old. In each room, he rediscovered his past. One door opens to Alexander the Great; another door opens to Mount Athos; yet another door opens to his beloved Ariadne... When reading this historical novel, readers will temporarily stay away from modern society and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient Greece.
