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 #39;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 #39;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 #39;s global narrative of migration, displacement, and cultural integration.

Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities – meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance – and in so doing restores to Homer’s masterwork its archaic grandeur.His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer’s verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer’s work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London. Homer s great epic describes the many adventures of Odysseus, Greek warrior, as he strives over many years to return to his home island of Ithaca after the Trojan War. His colourful adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago. This poem has been translated many times over the years, but Chapman s sinewy, gorgeous rendering (1616) stands in a class of its own. Chapman believed himself inspired by the spirit of Homer himself, and matches the breadth and power of the original with a complex and stunning idiom of his own. John Keats expressed his admiration for the resulting work in the famous sonnet, On first looking into Chapman s Homer : Much have I travelled in the realms of gold... This new Wordsworth edition of Chapman s Homer contains accessible annotation, and a detailed introduction that places his masterpiece in the context of his own day, and discusses its influences on later poets.

The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the split personality. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll #39;s harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one #39;s own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.

Eventually, Nick becomes aware of Gatsby s intense interest in his cousin Daisy Buchanan, and when Daisy s brutish husband, Tom, probes Gatsby s background, he uncovers unsavory revelations about his rival s wealth.

A stunning Penguin clothbound edition of Homer s great epic, in E. V. Rieu s classic translation.The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer s theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background.. Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.E. V. Rieu initiated Penguin Classics with Allen Lane and his famous translation of the Odyssey was the first book published in the series in 1947. The Iliad followed in 1950.

M. Micallef Ananda Special Edition, 100 ml, Parfémované vody pro ženy, Ananda Special Edition je květinová vůně pro ženy z kolekce Ananda francouzské značky nikových (niche) parfémů M. Micallef a ve velmi speciálním vydání. Značka M. Micallef staví na ryzích francouzských tradicích řemeslného mistrovství a luxusu a klade důraz na kvalitu a přírodnost ingrediencí svých špičkových parfémů. Parfémovaná voda M. Micallef Ananda nabízí nádherné spojení květin a ovoce v radostné a nesmírně ženské vůni. Parfémovanou vodu M. Micallef Ananda věnoval Jean Claude Astier spirituální evoluci duší a ženám se zajímavou osobností spojující mnoho stránek. Ananda je současně pomyslnou kyticí dobré nálady a nádherných pocitů. Ústředním tématem je rozkošná mimóza, obklopená půvabnými květinovými a sladkými ovocnými tóny a provázená v závěru lahodnými gurmánskými a smyslnými doteky. Ananda Special Edition ještě podtrhuje nádherně jasný a poklidný charakter vůně zvláštním balením. Vonná kompozice Ananda se tedy v citrusovo-ovocné hlavě otevírá akordy černého rybízu, švestky, hrušky a citronu. V květinovém srdci zavoní kromě mimózy také jasmín, ylang-ylang, růže a fialka a v základu se opět setkáváme s mimózou, provázenou tóny bourbonské vanilky a světlého pižma. V celkovém aroma se půvabně a vesele pojí sladké, ovocné, pudrovité a květinové stránky. Výsledkem je nesmírně ženská, rozkošná, lahodně sladká a šťavnatá vůně, vyzařující pozitivitu. Parfémovaná voda Ananda je smyslným, romantickým a nesmírně lákavým vonným povzbuzením. Hodí se na denní i večerní nošení po celý rok. Nejlépe však vynikne za jarních a letních dnů. Parfémovaná voda M. Micallef Ananda si navždy získá ženy, které mají rády sladké květinové vůně s výraznou ovocnou stránkou. Vyzkoušet by ji měla také každá dáma, která oceňuje skutečnou kvalitu a považuje se za pravou znalkyni nikových parfémů. Kromě úchvatných vůní zaujmou všechny parfémy M. Micallef také proslulými designovými flakony, vytvářenými ve vlastním uměleckém studiu značky. Nesmírně půvabný, bělostný flakon parfémované vody Ananda Special Edition je ručně osázený spoustou krystalů Swarovski. Nechte si pozvednout náladu sladkou vůni mimózy a ovoce a zamilujte se do díla luxusní francouzské značky, jejíž parfémy jsou i díky unikátnímu designu balení pravým mistrovským dílem. Nebo potěšte blízkou ženu skutečně výjimečným dárkem té nejvyšší kvality… M.
