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.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

Der Mythos von Circe - modern und fesselnd neu erzählt. Circe, Tochter des Sonnengotts Helios, ist anders: Denn sie besitzt Zauberkräfte. Von ihrer Familie missachtet und von Zeus verbannt, führt sie ein zurückgezogenes Leben auf der Insel Aiaia unter wilden Tieren, die sie gezähmt hat. In der Abgeschiedenheit entwickelt sie ihre magischen Fährigkeiten weiter, bis sie sich wahrhaftig eine Hexe nennen kann. Doch sie bleibt nicht lange allein: Als Hermes, Daidalos, Odysseus, Iason, Medea und die mächtige Athene ihre Wege kreuzen, muss sich Circe die Frage stellen.

Although this edition has not been subjected to bloody wars, giants, or cyclopes, it can certainly draw you deep into the most restless imagination.
