Description

In his first book in greater than a decade, award winning writer David Malouf reimagines the critical plot of Homer’s Iliad—one of the very well-known passages in every of literature. This may be the tale of the connection between two grieving guys at battle: fierce Achilles, who has lost his precious Patroclus in the siege of Troy; and woeful Priam, whose boy Hector killed Patroclus and was consequently savaged by Achilles. A moving story of suffering, payoff, and sadness, Ransom is incandescent in its unstated imperative and its effective and fragile lyricism that our lives are imagined by us within the shine of fellow-feeling.
