'DAVID MALOUF’s Ransom is set in a world on the brink of ending. It elaborates on the last scene of Homer’s Iliad, in which the Trojan king Priam retrieves the body of his slain son Hector from the fearsome Achilles. This is a poignant interlude in the Trojan War; afterwards, Troy will be destroyed. Its topless towers will come crashing down in flames.' (Introduction)
