'Baricco has written an Iliad for his time, a wonderful, gripping take on a story that has haunted our culture since it was first told.' The Times

'A wonderful, gripping take on a story that has haunted our culture since it was first told.' The Times

This is an Iliad like no other. In this bravura piece of storytelling Alessandro Baricco recreates the siege of Troy through the eyes and voices of each of the major Homeric characters in turn. Through their experiences, we witness the unforgettable war first told of thousands of years ago. Baricco has transformed Homer's masterwork into a vivid retelling resounding with love, jealousy and the eternal energy of conflict.

'Both celebration and condemnation of war, this Iliad manages to speak to yet another generation that needs desperately to hear its messages.' Kirkus Reviews

'A page turner . . . In forgoing Homer's objective account, Baricco hopes for a more fluid and intimate insight. He achieves just that.' Observer
