«La Guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu» (The Trojan War Will Not Take Place) is the play by Jean Giraudoux in paperback (127 pages, in French).
In Troy, on the eve of war with Greece, Hector tries to avoid the conflict through diplomacy, but clashes with the pride of Trojans and Greeks, the intransigence of the gods, and a bellicose public opinion. The play reflects on the impossibility of peace when war is considered inevitable.
This edition, published in 2001, is an abridged version (extracts) from the Univers des Lettres collection.
