A passionate and dramatic retelling of the'stories surrounding the war that was fought for the Bronze Age city of Troy. *A beautiful new vision of Homer's Illiad from one the country's very best storytellers. *Lindsay Clarke won the Whitbread for his novel The Chemical Wedding. *Troy, a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, will be released in 2004, re-igniting interest in these tales. "The people who lived in those days were closer to gods than we are, and great deeds and marvels were commoner then, which is why the'stories we have from them are nobler and richer than our own. So that those stories should not pass from the earth, I have decided to set down everything I know of the'stories of the war at Troy - of the way it began, of the way it was fought, and of the way in which it was ended."

'I found The War at Troy a triumph of retelling the ancient story of the siege and its aftermath, a readable and freshened version that keeps one turning the pages' Alan Sillitoe 'I'm awed by the web you've spun. Not only the beautiful complexities of it but the fine texture of the threads ...Full of wise things.' Ted Hughes
Acclaimed author Lindsay Clarke won the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Fiction with Chymical Wedding and is also well-known for Alice's Masque. He has an extensive knowledge of mythology and legend and runs workshops in the UK and abroad.
