In his first novel in more than a decade, award-winning author
David Malouf reimagines the pivotal narrative of Homer's
"Iliad"--one of the most famous passages in all of literature.
This is the story of the relationship between two grieving men at
war: fierce Achilles, who has lost his beloved Patroclus in the
siege of Troy; and woeful Priam, whose son Hector killed Patroclus
and was in turn savaged by Achilles. A moving tale of suffering,
sorrow, and redemption, "Ransom "is incandescent in its delicate
and powerful lyricism and its unstated imperative that we imagine
our lives in the glow of fellow feeling.
