As the conflict comes to a climax, the Greeks begin to realise they cannot win the Trojan war without Philoctetes's invincible bow, and turn back to seek his help.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cure at Troy dramatises the conflict between personal integrity and political expediency, and explores ways in which the victims of injustice can become as devoted to the contemplation of their wounds as the perpetrators are to the justification of their system. Responsive to the Greek playwright's understanding of the relations between public and private morality, The Cure at Troy is a sharp, fast-paced retelling of the Greek original, shot through with Heaney's own Irish speech and context.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHistory says, Don't hope\u003cbr\u003e\nOn this side of the grave.\u003cbr\u003e\nBut then, once in a lifetime\u003cbr\u003e\nThe longed-for tidal wave\u003cbr\u003e\nOf justice can rise up,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd hope and history rhyme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571327652\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50252483461424,"sku":"Trans_9780571327652","price":900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/712doa-eKHL.jpg?v=1761638445","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-cure-at-troy","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
