The Odyssey

Viac o knihe

Presents a reprint of this ancient Greek epic, Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger, translated into the English-language with an introduction giving the background to the times. Since 1961, Fitzgerald's classic translation of Homer's Odyssey has been the standard translation for three generations of students and poets. In this edition of the classic work, Fitzgerald's verse is ideally suited to the story of Odysseus' long journey back to his wife and home after the Trojan War. --Adapted from publisher description
