The Odyssey: The most widely read work of all time has endured in humanity just as the name of its protagonist has. It is a book recognized and acclaimed by adults and youth from different parts of the world, much like the cunning Odysseus, King of Ithaca, whom we follow on his epic adventure back home after fighting in Troy. Although this edition has not been subjected to bloody wars, giants, or cyclopes, it can certainly draw you deep into the most restless imagination.

Primo capolavoro della letteratura occidentale, scritto probabilmente intorno all'VIII secolo a.C., l'Iliade è, insieme con l'Odissea, uno dei pilastri di tutta la cultura occidentale. Nel poema si narrano i 51 giorni della guerra di Troia, dall'ira di Achille ai funerali di Ettore, densi di battaglie ed imprese nelle quali si intrecciano continuamente i destini di dèi ed eroi.

L'Odissea è un testo che conserva sempre intatto il suo fascino particolare. Restiamo sempre ammaliati da quello che si può considerare il viaggio più importante di tutta la cultura occidentale. La curiosità dell'ignoto, il bisogno del viaggio e del ritorno a casa sono le forze che spingono Ulisse a vagabondare per tutto il mondo conosciuto ed anche oltre. Le sue avventure si sviluppano in un continuo intreccio di rapporti con gli dèi, i quali di volta in volta in volta lo salvano o tentano di eliminarlo.

The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns.
