Sinopsis

In "The Legend of Achilles," Carl Friedrich Becker presents a riveting reimagining of the ancient Greek myth centered around the titular hero. The novel intricately weaves classical themes of heroism, love, and vengeance amidst the backdrop of the Trojan War. Becker'Äôs prose is both lyrical and evocative, drawing upon the rich tapestry of Homeric tradition while imbuing the narrative with modern psychological depth. The book seeks not only to recount the events surrounding Achilles but also to explore the complex motivations driving his actions, inviting readers to ponder themes of honor and fate in a world governed by capricious gods. Carl Friedrich Becker, a scholar of ancient civilizations and a passionate advocate for the literary arts, brings a unique perspective to his retelling of this timeless tale. His in-depth understanding of Greek mythology, coupled with his academic training, has equipped him to breathe new life into the character of Achilles.

For readers captivated by mythology and those who seek a nuanced portrayal of legendary figures, Becker's "The Legend of Achilles" is an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This book not only enriches one's understanding of Achilles'Äô narrative but also stimulates profound reflections on the human condition. Dive into this masterfully crafted narrative and discover the timeless wisdom embedded within its pages.

    Published posthumously in 1919, this collection of diary entries presents a scathing picture of army life and is said to be one of the most vivid accounts of daily life in the trenches. It chronicles West's increasing disillusion with war and his move toward pacifist and atheist beliefs. The final part consists of his powerful war poems, including God, How I Hate You, You Young Cheerful Men, and Night Patrol. West was killed by a sniper in 1917. In view of some of his poems, one wonders if death was not unwelcome.
