Description
'The best modern prose translation of The Iliad ' Robin Lane Fox, The Times The first of the world's great tragedies, The Iliad centres on the pivotal four days towards the end of the ten-year war between the Greeks and the Trojans. In a series of dramatic set pieces, it follows the story of the humiliation of Achilleus at the hands of Agamemnon and his slaying of Hektor: a barbarous act with repercussions that ultimately determine the fate of Troy. The Iliad not only paints an intimate picture of individual experience, but also offers a universal perspective in which human loss and suffering are set against a vast and unpitying divine background where fickle, quarrelsome gods decide the fate of men. Translated with an Introduction by Martin Hammond Review: Nice - Ordered four books, but only only was was in great condition, this was the one very mint condition Review: loved it - Good quality and book is amazing

Ottima versione di un classico eterno
Ottima versione in prosa (e in inglese) dell'Iliade che è perfettamente comprensibile e permette di apprezzare questo classico eterno. Consigliato.

War schnell da
Das Titelbild ist nicht richtig abgebildet. Auf meinem Buch ist ein Gemälde aus dem 18Jhr. Nicht so gelungen für eine altgriechische Erzählung. Die oben gezeigt Abbildung ist deutlich besser.
