Foreign Masterpieces, Preferably Classical and Romantic Ones!
I want to read a book similar to "A Tale of Two Cities (Classic World Masterpiece)".

The tragic battlefields thousands of years ago, the heroic heroes from all over the world, and the immortal gods make up this tragic epic. The battlefields thousands of years ago are described in detail, and heroes with different personalities fight and charge, making readers feel as if they are on the ancient battlefield of Troy. Although it is a poetic narrative, it is also very smooth, and it is worthy of being the birthplace of European literature. Achilles has both heroic courage and loyalty, as well as mortal shortcomings, but these make this epic hero more real and vital.
"The Iliad" uses the anger of Achilles to dissect the fate of the hero, the bloody glory under Troy and the compassion of Hector's funeral, tearing apart the duality of the war epic. Homer uses the oracle's intervention to wrestle with the glimmer of humanity, allowing the bronze armor to reflect the original ethical dilemma of civilization. The five stars pay tribute to its eternal inquiry - when lines of poetry become the spear of destiny, human beings are still projecting the silhouette of freedom in the chess game of the gods.
The book "The Iliad" is so wonderful! The author Homer is like a poet with endless imagination. The characters he writes have distinctive personalities and legendary experiences. Achilles, in particular, is impressive with his rage and bravery. This book made me feel the charm of ancient Greek culture, and also made me understand the importance of collective interests and personal honor. All in all, this is a classic worth reading again and again!
After reading "The Iliad", I immediately turned to "The Odyssey" and it felt like a lifetime ago.
Interesting, looking at the Trojan War - the game of the gods from a different perspective
