by Homer (Author), E. V. Rieu (Translator), D. C. H. Rieu (Revised by)

Homer's classic epic of survival, revenge, and homecoming, translated by E. V. Rieu, now in a stunning clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, and featuring an Introduction by Peter V. Jones.

Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Christopher Nolan

The epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War, one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats--shipwrecks, battles, monsters, and the implacable enmity of the sea god Poseidon--Odysseus must use his wit and native cunning if he is to reach his homeland of Ithaca safely and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him.
