Гомер. Илиада by Alessandro Baricco
A polyphonic retelling of the Trojan War unfolds through first-person monologues by figures like Achilles, Hector, Priam, Helen, and Briseis, with divine interventions stripped away to foreground human motives, fear, desire, and brutality. Intimate testimonies replace grand narration, reframing legendary battles as conflicting stories of honor, rage, loss, and the cost of glory, transforming an ancient epic into a stark, contemporary meditation on war and memory.
