SYNOPSIS: In this exquisite gem of a novel, David Malouf shines new light on Homer's Iliad, adding twists and reflections, as well as flashes of earthy humour, to surprise and enchant. Lyrical, immediate and heartbreaking, Malouf's fable engraves the epic themes of the Trojan war onto a perfect miniature - themes of war and heroics, hubris and humanity, chance and fate, the bonds between soldiers, fathers and sons, all brilliantly recast for our times. One of Australia's finest writers. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; Australian Fiction; ISBN: . ISBN/EAN: 9781741669657.
