Soft cover. Etat : As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. States "First published in the United States of America by Viking Penguin." Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing (unless there was a previous hardcover -- this is a trade paperback.) It may be that the author had no role in choosing the subhead of this as-new trade paperback. However, while Miss Alexander does mention the excavations of Troy IV, and credits the work of Milman Parry, Albert Lord, and others who studied the remnants of the ancient tradition of semi-literate oral bards in the Balkans in the early 20th Century (an expedition parodied in Ismail Kadare's novel "Dosja H." -- "The File on H."), the fact is that this book is NOT an attempt to find alternative parallel archaeological evidence to either debunk or construct anew "the true story" of the siege of Troy, but instead an attempt to pull apart what may have become a droning piece of somnolent verse, reconstructing Homer's tale largely in annotated prose. In other words, Miss Alexander's primary source is . . . Homer. Still, a far better and more insightful analysis of the tale and its main theme (war is bad?) than any mere "Cliff's Notes." 296 pp. including notes and index.

Product Description:A groundbreaking reading of the Iliad that restores Homer's vision of the tragedy of war, by the bestselling author of The BountyFew warriors, in life or literature, have challenged their commanding officer and the rationale of the war they fought as fiercely as did Homer's hero Achilles. Today, the Iliad is celebrated as one of the greatest works in literature, the epic of all epics; many have forgotten that the subject of this ancient poem was war-not merely the poetical romance of the war at Troy, but war, in all its enduring devastation.Using the legend of the Trojan war, the Iliad addresses the central questions defining the war experience of every age: Is a warrior ever justified in standing up against his commander? Must he sacrifice his life for someone else's cause? Giving his life for his country, does a man betray his family? How is a catastrophic war ever allowed to start-and why, if all parties wish it over, can it not be ended?.

More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are lightly tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Iliad is still the greatest poem about war that our culture has ever produced. For a hundred generations, poets and thinkers in the West have pored over, retold and argued about the events described in this martial epic, even when direct knowledge of it was lost. Various empires have admired it as a book that in telling the story of the siege of Troy also extols the warrior ethic, and teaches the young how to die well. Yet the figure at the heart of the epic, the consummate warrior Achilles, is a brooding, controversial hero. He is a fierce critic of those who have started this war and allowed it to drag on, consuming soldiers and civilians alike. Disconcertingly, The Iliad portrays war as a catastrophe that destroys cities, orphans children and wrecks whole societies. Caroline Alexander's extraordinary book is not about any of the traditional concerns that have occupied classicists for centuries. It is simpler and more radical than that. In her words, 'This book is about what the Iliad is about; this book is about what the Iliad says of war. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Literature & Literary; ISBN/EAN: 9780571234301.
