The Odyssey

Autor Homer Homer Traducere de Samuel Butler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 2026

The epic journey of Odysseus: a heroic tale filled with danger, monsters, and romance. The inspiration for the acclaimed Christopher Nolan film adaptation starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway.

Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy. The surviving Greek warriors who destroyed that city have returned home. All except Odysseus, whose wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await him. Claiming that Odysseus is dead, a host of suitors have taken up residence in his home, eating up his wealth and trying to persuade Penelope to marry one of them. Penelope steadfastly refuses.

Odysseus, in fact, is alive. Odysseus has spent seven years as a captive of the nymph Calypso, the gods finally take pity on him and persuade her to set him free. When he resumes his journey home, the sea god Poseidon sends a great storm to destroy his raft.

Exhausted and near death, Odysseus and his men wash up on an island shore. They are delayed by Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Lotus-eaters, the Sirens, the sorceress Circe, and other strange creatures.

Notă biografică

Homer (8th century CE) was an ancient Greek poet who is most-famously credited as the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, both epic poems that are still regarded as foundational works of Greek literature. Although many accounts of Homer’s life and deeds are today considered legend and historically dubious, the sheer volume of tales from the period of his life point to the centrality of Homer as a public figure and as a storyteller to Greek culture. Scholars may still debate the veracity and singularity of his authorship, but the Homeric works remain undisputed as central pillars of modern literature, codifying central concepts like the hero’s journey, moral ambiguity, and the novel as cultural memory.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy. The surviving Greek warriors who destroyed that city have returned home. All except Odysseus, whose wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await him. Claiming that Odysseus is dead, a host of suitors have taken up residence in his home, eating up his wealth and trying to persuade Penelope to marry one of them. Penelope steadfastly refuses. Odysseus, in fact, is alive. He has spent seven years as a captive of the nymph Calypso, and the gods finally take pity on him and persuade her to set him free. When he resumes his journey home, the sea god Poseidon sends a great storm to destroy his raft. Exhausted and near death, Odysseus and his men wash up on an island shore. They are delayed by Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Lotus-eaters, the Sirens, the sorceress Circe, and other strange creatures.

Homer's The Odyssey, an epic poem from the eighth century BC, is not just a cornerstone of ancient Greek literature but also a deeply relevant work that addresses themes of perseverance, loyalty, and the challenges of returning home. Odysseus's long journey home after the Trojan War mirrors modern issues such as the plight of refugees and veterans reintegrating into society after long periods of conflict. His struggles and triumphs offer insights into human resilience and the quest for identity, themes that continue to resonate in today's global narrative of migration, displacement, and cultural integration.
