## Description

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Homer's epic poem of gods and warriors, with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. High on Mount Olympus, the gods look down on the world of men, to the city of Troy where a bitter and bloody war has dragged into its tenth year, and a quarrel rages between a legendary warrior and his commander. Greek ships decay, men languish, exhausted, and behind the walls of Troy a desperate people await the next turn of fate. This is the Iliad: an ancient story whose magnetic characters and moving speeches have an enduring power. This hardback is part of VINTAGE COLLECTOR’S CLASSICS, a series of luxurious books especially crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions.
