Description
The second work of Western Literature, Homer's Odyssey is, as Peter Jones says in his illuminating Introduction, 'rich in character, adventure and incident, reconciling reality with fantasy, the heroic with the humble'. It recounts the story of Odysseus' return to Ithaca from the Trojan war ... D.C.H. Rieu's substantial revisions retain all the joie de vivre of his father's bestselling prose translation, while thrilling us afresh with the immediacy and directness that characterized Homer's original. --Penguin ClassicsDonated by Barbara Einzig.
