A review by mariannebronte
Omero, Iliade by Alessandro Baricco

5.0

Obviously, i had to give this book 5 stars beacuse it’s just the Iliad in prose, re-written to be more understandable by contemporary readers!!

It’s just sooo beautiful. It has a quite a lot of raw description that can be found hard to read sometimes, but I honestly enjoyed them ahahah.

The beautiful part of this book is that the author decides to change from a third person narrator, to an internal narrator, who changes often.

I obviously already knew the plot but it still made me very emotional
