The war at Troy [ang.]

Autor: Clarke, Lindsay

"The people who lived in those days were closer to gods than we are, and great deeds and marvels were commoner then, which is why the stories we have from them are nobler and richer than our own. So that those stories should not pass from the earth, I have decided to set down everything I know of the stories of the war at Troy - of the way it began, of the way it was fought, and of the way in which it was ended."

With these words, Phemius the bard of Ithaca and friend to Odysseus,

opens Lindsay Clarke`s compelling new retelling of the myths and legends that grew up around the war that was fought for the Bronze Age city of Troy.

Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector - all are given vigorous new life in a version of their stories which remains faithful to the mythic form in which they first appeared yet engages the reader in a startlingly contemporary drama of the passions.
