Novela histórica, Mitología, Grecia clásica (  ) JAVIFAUSTO | Jun 26, 2013 |  Uno de los libros más hermosos de Graves, La guerra de Troya es la recreación de uno de los hechos esenciales para la comprensión del mundo clásico griego y de la literatura épica. Los conflictos entre Aquiles y Agamenón, el escenario de la guerra, la personalidad de Héctor, son explicados con una prosa tan admirable como amena. Tal vez este es, en palabras de Graves, "el primer intento moderno de xplicar toda la historia de Troya, desde la fundación de la ciudad hasta el retorno de los griegos victoriosos, en un libro breve". Esta novela, una de las más queridas por el propio Graves, es, al final, mucho más que la mera explicación de una leyenda: es un alegato a favor de la amistad y en contra de la guerra, un homenaje a la literatura clásica y, por encima de todo, una aventura apasionantes que se ha constituido ya en una pequeña obra maestra del siglo XX kika66 | Dec 8, 2010 | What-ho chaps, it’s the Trojan war! The Siege and Fall of Troy traces Troy’s history from its first settlement to its eventual destruction. It relates the events before, during and after the Trojan War, so it also outlines the plots of The Iliad and The Odyssey. It’s written for children, so the story is very clear and simple, with a good summary of events and helpful explanations of the gods and people involved. The style is a little too Enid Blyton-ish at times, but I found this funny rather than annoying. Agamemnon behaves like a petulant schoolboy, so what’s the harm in him sounding like one too? A good book for children interested in the Greek myths, it’s also a nice lead-up to The Iliad or The Odyssey. Pencils | Feb 11, 2010 | näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
For centuries, the ancient world was electrified by the story of the ten-year war that brought down the ancient city of Troy and destroyed the lives of countless Greek and Trojan warriors. In the modern world, according to Robert Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible." Here are ambition, greed, cruelty, suffering, madness, treachery, jealousy, pride, and foolishness in abundance, a tale of woe that brings the ancient world into a modern context. The ancient city of Troy was sacked sometime early in the twelfth century BC; The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed some four or five centuries later. But there were many other accounts besides Homer's, and Graves uses them all. His writing style is sleek, action- driven, and to the point. A great story like this deserves a great story-teller, and gets all that and more in Robert Graves. No library descriptions found. |
