Product Description
From the Back Cover
* « Tout pays est le pays de la jeunesse. Il meurt quand la jeunesse meurt. » - HÉCUBE, I, 6
* « Nous sommes les vainqueurs. Cela vous est bien égal, n'est-ce pas ? Vous aussi vous l'êtes. Mais, nous, nous sommes les vainqueurs vivants. C'est ici que commence la différence. C'est ici que j'ai honte. » - HECTOR, II, 5
* « Il n'est pas très prudent d'avoir des dieux et des légumes trop dorés. » - ULYSSE, II, 13
« Le grand ressort [des] intrigues [de Giraudoux] c'est la nécessité où sont les destins de s'accomplir. » - Claude-Edmonde Magny (1945)
« Développant les thèmes les plus angoissants de l'heure, Jean Giraudoux veut que cette angoisse nous reste personnelle. Ses subtilités, ses préciosités mêmes ont pour effet de tenir chaque spectateur en état d'émerveillement éveillé. » - Henri Gouhier (1968) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

French and Greek lit--combined in passions of love and war,
By
This review is from: GUERRE DE TROIE N'AURA...-N.E. (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a humorous and also serious ficticious story of the events surrounding the Trojan War. We get up-close and personal with the characters (Helen, Paris, Hector, Ulysses, Priam) and also other people that would have had influences, but are totally made-up ("le Geometre," "Demokos," "Iris," etc.). Though this book does not have a lot of war action, its fast-pace politics are entertaining enough. The passions these characters have are immeasurable. Don't read this book if you want to learn about Greek mythology or a factual re-enactment of Troy. Do read this book if you enjoy fiction/fantasy and want to brush up on your french ;).

A Comedy of Foresight and Truth,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La\Guerre de Troie n'Aura pas Lieu (Paperback)
Giraudoux writes this play after World War I. He brings Greek mythology into the text and foresights World War II through his comparison of Troy loosing Helene and starting another war to Germany having everything taken away after WWI like the Rhinevalley and any hope of glory. There is a lot of comedy, but more importantly a lot of truth into the future. It is an amazing story and a quick read.
