Antigone (Thrift Editions) Paperback – 1 Feb. 2000

great condition, though didn't realise I needed the french re-write and not the original so didn't use in the end

Not the best quality but pleased with it - given as present

Arrived ripped and the other book in the box had their front covers bent.

Bought the book for my European Literature reading club, but found it so poorly translated that i ordered another one by Oxford University Press. A Thrift edition indeed not worth buying.

My daughter teacher asked her this particular book for Catholic school. My daughter really enjoyed it. They had discussion about it in class. Perfect for teenagers

I should start by saying that the book itself, the whole structure of it is pretty well done. The printing is good too, there are no problems at all in understanding the literature. The story itself is wonderful and an absolute classic. The story explores themes of loyalty, morality, and the consequences of standing up for what's right. It follows the story of a really courageous and rebellious Antigone who is also the princess of Thebes, who tries to give his now dead brother a proper burial but is asked not to do so by her uncle. The reason being that Antigone's brother, Polynices, was considered a traitor because he fought against his own city, Thebes, in a war. In the rest of the book we read about the consequences she had to face for her actions. Its a very captivating book and does justice to its themes. I could not find any major problems in it. Totally recommended.

Bought this for class. Gets the job done

This copy of Antigone was perfect for English literature class

Condition and all are good but I don't like the story. It's such a TF type of story, learnt nothing from this. I had to buy because it's in my literature syllabus. I just don't like it.
