Original: perez reverte
Spanish writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte is in the news after an interview with ABC in which he said: 'Every conflict I have lived through is the Trojan War, the same atrocities.' The novelist, known for works such as Captain Alatriste, draws a line from Homer's epic to modern warfare, arguing that human violence and cruelty repeat identically across centuries. The remarks have prompted discussion in Spain about his views on war and literature.
Why now: The veteran Spanish novelist gave a new interview in which he linked ancient and modern conflicts, drawing attention in Spain.
