Description:
New York: A.A.Knopf, 2006 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st US Edition.. The famed Italian novelist Alessandro Baricco has written four novels that have won him worldwide admiration and the Prix Medicis Etranger, now, in his most ambitious work he retools the Homer's epic 'The Iliad.' Baricco re-creates the siege of Troy through the voices of 21 Homeric characters using his trademark dramatic prose. Forgoing the detachment of Homer's poetry, this reimagining of the Iliad blends the brutality of the tale with the psychology of the courageous warriors and heroines. This rendition of the 'Iliad' imbues the legend with a startling new relevancy and humanity that is sure to give readers a fresh perspective on the mythic tale..
