Persians : Aeschylus' Persians in a new version
Bok av Kaite O'Reilly
In her version of Europe?s oldest dramatic poem, a requiem to a nation?s dead in a reckless, fruitless war, Kaite O?Reilly chooses the iambic drumbeat of English blank verse, and a long-lined lyricism that befits an epic lament. The language is modern, the word-music timeless, the rhythms ring with echoes of Elizabethan drama. In this powerful translation, the three voices of the Chorus tell the tragic story in a breathless song of mourning that insists on being heard.
