Über diesen Titel

 The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of every man's journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, the energy and poetry of Homer's original is captured in a bold, contemporary idiom, giving us an edition of The Odyssey that is a joy to listen to, worth savoring treasuring for its sheer lyrical mastery. This audiobook is sure to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.(P) and ©1996 Penguin Books USA Inc.

Kritikerstimmen

“[Robert Fitzgerald’s translation is] a masterpiece . . . An Odyssey worthy of the original.” –The Nation

“[Fitzgerald’s Odyssey and Iliad] open up once more the unique greatness of Homer’s art at the level above the formula; yet at the same time they do not neglect the brilliant texture of Homeric verse at the level of the line and the phrase.” –The Yale Review

“[In] Robert Fitzgerald’s translation . . . there is no anxious straining after mighty effects, but rather a constant readiness for what the occasion demands, a kind of Odyssean adequacy to the task in hand, and this line-by-line vigilance builds up into a completely credible imagined world.”
–from the Introduction by Seamus Heaney

Ian McKellen does a stellar job reading Fagles' translation of Homer's work. But the music inserts are a terrible noise, and also randomly placed. I'm also missing the introduction and the notes on the translation that are part of the written version (and are usually included in other audio versions of these books), so I'd count this as abridged to some extent.

Great VA, horrible music

Such a great reading of such a classic piece of literature. However where audible says the chapters are is not at all accurate for many of the books. This definitely needs to be fixed. Very annoying

Excellent story, excellent reading, chapters were not accurate
