About this nonfiction
Homer's Iliad : A Contemporary Literary Views Book by Homer, Bloom, Harold is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.
'In Robert Fagles' beautifully rendered text, the Iliad overwhelms us afresh. The huge themes--godlike, yet utterly human--of savagery and calculation, of destiny defied, of triumph and grief compel our own humanity. Time after time, one pauses and re-reads before continuing. Fagles' voice is always that of a poet and scholar of our own age as he conveys the power of Homer. Robert Fagles and Bernard Knox are to be congratulated and praised on this admirable work. <p>Includes a brief biography of the author, thematic and structural analysis of the work, critical views, and an index of themes and ideas. </p>
