Book Synopsis War Music by : Christopher Logue

Download or read book War Music written by Christopher Logue and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-10-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his brilliant rendering of eight books of Homer's Iliad, Logue here retells some of the most evocative episodes of the war classic, including the death of Patroclus and Achilles's fateful return to battle, that sealed the doom of Troy. Compulsively readable, Logue's poetry flies off the page, and his compelling descriptions of the horrors of war have a surreal, dreamlike quality that has been compared to the films of Kurosawa. Retaining the great poem's story line but rewriting every incident, Logue brings the Trojan War to life for modern audiences.
