About this product

Product Information

Bombs fall over a Greek village during World War II, and a teacher takes her students to a cave for shelter. There she tells them about another war when the Greeks besieged Troy. Day after day, she recounts how the Greeks suffer from thirst, heat, and homesickness, and how the opponents meet army against army, man against man. Helmets are cleaved, heads fly, blood flows. And everything had begun when Prince Paris of Troy fell in love with king of Sparta Menelaus's wife, the beautiful Helen, and escaped with her to his homeland. Now Helen stands atop the city walls to witness the horrors set in motion by her flight. When her current and former loves face each other in battle, she knows that, whatever happens, she will be losing. Theodor Kallifatides provides remarkable psychological insight in his version of The Iliad, downplaying the role of the gods and delving into the mindsets of its mortal heroes. Homer's epic comes to life with a renewed urgency that allows us to experience e

Reviews
"Kallifatides's reworking of Homer's epic provides an intriguing take on the human dimension of the myth and strikes a rich, resonant note." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Another Life : "Kallifatides has written an unusual and refreshing memoir...A fascinating look into a prolific author's mind, especially welcome since there have not been enough English translations of his books." -- Kirkus Reviews "The work of Greek-born Swedish writer Theodor Kallifatides is not widely known in the United States. But based on the merits of his charming, late-life memoir...that shameful wrong needs to be righted. Slender in size, yet anything but slight in scope, this inviting meditation on age, writing and sense of place, beautifully translated into English by Marlaine Delargy, is witty, profound and thoroughly captivating...[an] exquisite book." -- BookPage "In his elegiac, tender meditation on migrations, both geographic and psychic--from one country to another, from one language to another, from youth to old age, from the time of the present to memories of the past--Kallifatides offers his reader a personal politics of the human." --Siri Hustvedt, author of The Blazing World, Praise for Another Life : "Kallifatides has written an unusual and refreshing memoir...A fascinating look into a prolific author's mind, especially welcome since there have not been enough English translations of his books." -- Kirkus Reviews "The work of Greek-born Swedish writer Theodor Kallifatides is not widely known in the United States.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
