Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty, and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.
This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.
Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace.
A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
##这个“英雄铩羽而归 人们幸福生活”的结尾好像没有Iliad好。
评分##书籍装帧和毛边设计满分!本来不感兴趣的话题,但是就是想要入手一本啊!Introduction部分写的深入浅出,翻译的很不错。
评分##这次读了几章之后。后面在audible上听的有声书,赞美有声书!读的真好。重读还是之前的感觉,前半部分是奇幻冒险后半部分是英雄复仇剧,剧情很吸引人😂
评分##这个“英雄铩羽而归 人们幸福生活”的结尾好像没有Iliad好。
评分##真的很恶心。。Penelope吊着求婚人(也是Telemachus打不过的原因)就被荷马以求婚人之口谴责,怎么没见有谁提Odysseus到处留情呢,本来以为他可一心一意了不愿意和Calypso在一起,结果定睛一看Odysseus离开的前一晚美美和她打分手炮。。然后又在另外一个女神的岛上吃喝玩乐了一年,让自己老婆干等着,直到手下提醒他他才想起来回去。。还有我受不了他们这么爱面子了,偏要告诉独眼巨人自己的名字,让波塞冬杀了自己手下,非蠢即坏。。当他手下有够倒霉。。
评分##(Lattimore and Fagles are more literal, and Fagles has excellent notes, but Fitzgerald is a far better poet, and his Odyssey is magical.) Then I have to try EW's translation...
评分##这版翻译真的太绝了,见微知著,like the cloth of Ponelope weaved unwoven. 很喜欢结尾的dissatisfaction:人类世界总是不断的有跌入地府的游魂。
评分##只读了介绍和译者前言
评分##Emily Wilson 这个译本阅读起来完全无障碍,像我这样对奥德赛故事不熟悉,第一次看的话非常推荐。接下去想读读希腊悲剧。
