      Book Overview

      La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu est une piece de theatre de Jean Giraudoux, jouee la premiere fois le 22 novembre 1935 au Theatre de l'Athenee sous la direction et avec Louis Jouvet. Cette uvre cherche a dechiffrer les motivations fratricides de la future Seconde Guerre mondiale, comme un avertissement. L'auteur y met en relief le cynisme des politiciens ainsi que leur manipulation des symboles et de la notion de droit. La piece met en lumiere le pacifisme de Giraudoux qui avait combattu en France et a la bataille des Dardanelles mais aussi sa lucidite devant deux betises, celle des hommes et celle des elements" This description may be from another edition of this product.

      Full text

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I haven't read this play. I just wanted to note that I'm holding this edition in my hand, and it seems to be the full text of a 2 act play, with quite a bit of additional annotative material (all in French). I see no mention of "extraits."

      A Comedy of Foresight and Truth

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      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.

      French and Greek lit--combined in passions of love and war

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      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...
