Alessandro Baricco recreates the siege of Troy through the voices of 21 Homeric characters. Sacrificing none of Homer's panoramic scope, he forgoes Homer's detachment and admits us to realms of subjective experience his predecessor never explored.

Work Description
Guiado por la idea de adaptar el texto para una lectura pública, Alessandro Baricco relee y reescribe la Ilíada de Homero, como si tuviéramos que devolver a Homero allí mismo, a la Ilíada, para contemplar uno de los más majestuosos paisajes de nuestro destino.
