      Pâris a enlevé la belle Hélène. Son mari Ménélas et tous les Grecs rassemblés crient vengeance et font le siège de Troie depuis neuf ans. Le divin Homère entonne alors le premier chant de l'Iliade. Il y en aura vingt-quatre, tous plus beaux les uns que les autres, tous centrés sur la colère d'Achille. Le roi des rois, Agamemnon, lui a enlevé sa compagne, l'esclave Briséis. En pleine bataille, Achille se retire sous sa tente, affaiblissant les rangs des Achéens. Il n'en sortira qu'à la mort de son ami Patrocle, pour combattre Hector. On ne sait si Homère est bien l'auteur de tous ces chants, mais cette épopée a traversé les siècles par sa démesure et sa beauté. Au combat des hommes se superpose celui des dieux et des déesses. Tous sont nobles, héroïques et généreux mais Homère, réaliste, montre aussi leurs faiblesses. Cette histoire faite de larmes et de sang est le symbole de la destinée humaine ballottée par le hasard. Achille le sait bien, lui dont les exploits dépendent de la fantaisie des dieux.

      The Natural History of Selborne (1789) is the distillation of a lifetime of observing nature, and ranges far beyond White's immediate neighbourhood noted in the title. Written during a turbulent time in world history, it is a celebration of the endeavours of both human beings and animals to survive. White's main aims were to induce readers to pay more attention to the wonders around them, and to advance their knowledge of the variety of life: his success has made this book a classic, and has made his name one of the most revered among British naturalists.
