SUMMARY:Discuss “The Odyssey” Homer Trans. Emily Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 22% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nHomer’s great epic of a hero’s journey home―inspiration f
 or the major motion picture by Christopher Nolan―in a bold\, contemporary\
 , and refreshingly readable translation.\n\n"Wilson’s language is fresh\, 
 unpretentious and lean. . . . It is rare to find a translation that is at 
 once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered." ―Madeline
  Miller\, author of Circe\n\nComposed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world l
 iterature almost three millennia ago\, The Odyssey is a poem about violenc
 e and the aftermath of war\; about wealth\, poverty\, and power\; about ma
 rriage and family\; about travelers\, hospitality\, and the yearning for h
 ome.\n\nThis fresh\, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this
  ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are un
 forgettable\, none more so than the “complicated” hero himself\, a man of 
 many disguises\, many tricks\, and many moods\, who emerges in this versio
 n as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.\n\nWritten in iamb
 ic pentameter verse and a vivid\, contemporary idiom\, Emily Wilson’s Odys
 sey sings with a voice that echoes the epic’s music\, sailing along at Hom
 er’s swift\, smooth pace.\n\nA fascinating\, informative introduction expl
 ores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic\, the poem’s major theme
 s\, the controversies about its origins\, and the unparalleled scope of it
 s impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume\, a pronunci
 ation glossary\, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this 
 an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
