Review:
"For all those curious about The Iliad but intimidated by its heft, Baricco's book offers a swift, stylish, summer-reading version of the great epic." --San Francisco Chronicle"A taut and mesmerizing tale." --The Seattle Times"Baricco divides the tale into a series of monologues by characters both major and minor. The result is compelling, occasionally thrilling." --Entertainment Weekly
Book Description:
