Více o knize
Focusing on the modern issue of war, this ambitious book-length poem critiques contemporary society's harsh realities, particularly the suffering of noncombatants. It juxtaposes the brutality of modern conflict with the beauty of language, suggesting that art can help us comprehend and potentially transform our circumstances. Drawing parallels with classical works like Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid, the author invites readers to reflect on the complexities and contradictions inherent in our relationship with war today.
