Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classicsAll my days are consumed in longing - to travel home and see the day of my arrival dawn. If a god must shatter me upon the wine-dark sea, so be it.

One of the most enduring tales ever told, The Odyssey is the original homecoming story. After the fall of Troy, victorious war-hero Odysseus sets off on his long return to Ithaca - an adventure which takes him through strange and foreign lands and brings a challenge at every turn from six-headed sea monsters and man-eating giants, seductive sorceresses and vengeful gods.Passed down through the generations for three thousand years, Homer's The Odyssey, has been celebrated as an undisputed great of Western literature. Here in a translation by T. E. Lawrence, this timeless epic explores the longing, determination and courage of those who find themselves a long way from home and asks whether someone who has been at war can ever truly return the same.
