Description

Specially bound paperback edition, with deckle-edging (rough-cut) pages and French flaps. "...a new cultural landmark...The first version of Homer s groundbreaking work by a woman will change our understanding of it for ever...Armed with a sharp, scholarly rigour, she has produced a translation that exposes centuries of masculinist readings of the poem." Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian 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 the first by a woman matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer s sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and a five-beat line 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.
