A descent into the underworld. The great leadership figures of the Left - communists, socialists, center-leftists - compare their dramatic experiences with ours, exploring the paradox of the left movement in times of great crisis, answering the question 'What should we do?'.

A new perspective on the European Left of our time from the highest peaks of history. A scene from the Trojan War gives the title of the book, introduces the fundamental dilemma, and heralds a new synthesis of the Left, a new Founding Act.
