{"product_id":"book-f87n","title":"Christopher Logue: War Music","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWar Music\u003c\/em\u003e is a dramatic poem based on Homer’s \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e. Logue worked on it for more than forty years and it was left incomplete at his death in 2011. At the time of this recording it was divided into three parts: \u003cem\u003eKings\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Husbands\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eWar Music\u003c\/em\u003e, the last of which is further divided into three sections: \u003cem\u003ePatrocleia\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGBH\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePax\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eWar Music\u003c\/em\u003e later became the poem’s general title. Commissioned in the first instance by BBC Radio, \u003cem\u003eWar Music\u003c\/em\u003e changed slightly as it developed, which means that there are a number of small discrepancies between the published and the recorded work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e itself is a continuous narrative of some 16,000 lines and is generally thought to be the product of a poetic tradition as much as or even more than of an individual poet. It tells the story of the war fought over the departure of Helen from Greece to Troy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laurence Aston","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49359234761008,"sku":"BDf87n","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49359234826544,"sku":"ZEf87n","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49359236170032,"sku":"ZMf87n","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/100958-f87n-Square.jpg?v=1734464235","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f87n","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
