Odyssey By Homer New Collector Addition

A voyage home, bound in gold. This deluxe hardback edition of the epic that launched a thousand bookshelves is the kind of book you’ll want to hold, linger over, and pass along.

It’s the tale of Ulysses and his long, winding journey home after the Trojan War. There are monsters, storms, seductive songs, and cunning escapes. It’s also a story about loyalty, longing, and the pull of home. Nearly three thousand years on, it’s still the most enduring classic of western civilization.

This edition features Alexander Pope’s 1726 translation, which captures the rhythm and lyricism of the original poem. Alongside the text you’ll find illustrations inspired by John Flaxman’s neoclassical designs. There’s also a helpful introduction by George Davidson and commentary by Emma Woolerton to guide you through the action.

And the details? Lovely.
