The journey home after an unimaginably long war.
The journey home, by the will of the formidable Poseidon stretching for ten years, full of dangers, traps, temptations, the wrath and mercy of the gods.
The journey home—to where they still await him.
A fundamental text at the heart of European culture: the plot and imagery of the Odyssey live on and are familiar to everyone, even those who have never read the poem.
This edition presents the original text of Homer's Odyssey in ancient Greek, along with the classic translation by V. A. Zhukovsky and expressive illustrations. For ease of reading, each line in Russian is placed opposite the corresponding line in ancient Greek. This arrangement allows for easy comparison of the original text with the translation, highlighting the difficulties the translators faced, and highlighting the most accurately translated passages.
The work is accompanied by numerous vibrant illustrations by artists such as F. Preller, A. Kalbe, C. Robinson, P. Wilson, D. P. Jacomb-Hood, and L. Semensky.
The gift-wrapped hardcover, abundant illustrations, beautiful design, and colorful ribbon bookmark add sophistication and appeal to the book. It is perfect not only for your own collection but also as a gift for loved ones.
