Opis

This selection of articles examines aspects of Giraudoux's work, comparing it with the Iliad andOdyssey of Homer, Friedrich von Schiller, Jacques 'Offenbach, Jean Giono, Rupert Brooke and Bertolt Brecht. His famous drama La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu reflects humanity's hope for peace, aware that this ever-renewed Sisyphean hope succumbs to the hydra of war.
