ILIAD (CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS) (HB)

Part of Penguin's handsome hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these collectible copies are bound in high-quality cloth with foil stamping. The Iliad is considered a cornerstone of Western literature and the greatest literary title from Ancient Grecian culture. The epic poem explores the key events in the final year of the Trojan War which led to the fate of Troy. Homer analyses the human themes of heroism, suffering and death against the unpitying decree of the gods.
