«La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu» is the play by Jean Giraudoux, published by Flammarion in paperback (196 pages, in French).
Before the walls of Troy, Hector tries to avoid a war that almost everyone takes for granted. Andromache, Cassandra, Paris, Ulysses, Helen and Priam debate in a dialectical duel that turns the Homeric legend into a reflection on fate and political responsibility. Written in the interwar period, it also speaks of the present.
Work originally published in 1935; this 2018 French edition belongs to the Étonnants Classiques collection and includes commentary by Delphine Urban.
For secondary school students studying the work in class and readers interested in twentieth-century French theatre.
Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux was a French novelist, essayist, diplomat and playwright. He is considered among the most important French dramatists of the period between World War I and World War II.
