Description: Further DetailsTitle: The OdysseyCondition: NewFormat: PaperbackISBN-10: 039341793XEAN: 9780393417937ISBN: 9780393417937Publisher: WW Norton & CoRelease Date: 11/20/2020Description: The first great adventure story in the Western canon, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer’s sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and an iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting “rhythm and rumble” that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur. An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice that allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer’s descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero’s adventures, Wilson recaptures what is “epic” about this wellspring of world literature.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 130mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 323gAuthor: Homer, Emily WilsonTranslator: Emily WilsonContributor: Emily Wilson (Translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Norton LibraryTopic: Language & Reference, Literary CriticismType: By PeriodRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
