The Odyssey (Penguin Clothbound Classics) presents Homer's classic epic of survival, revenge, and homecoming, translated by E. V. Rieu, in a stunning clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith and featuring an introduction by Peter V. Jones. This collectible edition pairs a trusted, accessible translation with striking design.
Key topics include 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, including shipwrecks, battles, monsters, and the implacable enmity of the sea god Poseidon, Odysseus must use his wit and native cunning to reach his homeland of Ithaca safely and overcome the obstacles that await him even there.
E. V. Rieu was a celebrated translator from Latin and Greek and editor of Penguin Classics from 1944 to 1964; his prose translation of the Odyssey has introduced generations of readers to Homer's epic. This edition has been revised by his son, D. C. H. Rieu, with a new introduction by Peter V. Jones, former lecturer in Classics at Newcastle.
Part of the Penguin Clothbound Classics series, this edition combines Coralie Bickford-Smith's celebrated cover artwork, inspired by the tradition of Victorian book bindings, with Penguin's authoritative text, making it a striking choice for collectors and gift-givers as well as readers encountering the Odyssey for the first time.
