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.

評分##Excellent translation! I went to her talk at Yale. Such a sharp and attentive scholar. When she read out aloud her own translation--Penelope's dream and the massacre of the suitors, I was enamored by her words. She genuinely loves Homer and her passion for this literature just exuberated in the lecture hall. Energy overflows in her translation!
評分##這次讀瞭幾章之後。後麵在audible上聽的有聲書,贊美有聲書!讀的真好。重讀還是之前的感覺,前半部分是奇幻冒險後半部分是英雄復仇劇,劇情很吸引人????
評分為瞭跟尤利西斯對照閱讀買的,封麵和毛邊裝幀都好美。Emily Wilson的翻譯輕靈敏捷乾脆,不失文學性和韻律感。偶有幾處用詞太現代有點跳戲,整體流暢通順。Intro第一頁說到epic這個詞有誤導性,讓人覺得史詩一定宏大輝煌,然而從詞源看,a epic poem本質上隻是一個被講述的故事。 始終讀不進富麗堂皇氣勢磅礴譯本的我終於在Emily Wilson的幫助下讀完瞭奧德賽。
評分##這個“英雄鎩羽而歸 人們幸福生活”的結尾好像沒有Iliad好。
評分##非常棒,吐血推薦。
評分##講座通篇隻談"I want..."而不提貼閤原作的譯者還是第一次見到, 和Fagles相比韻味和仔細程度實在差太遠瞭...是奧德賽的第一位女性譯者又如何呢,若是在Hades遇到Penelope,兩人也隻能have a silent cup of tea吧。Fidelity, such a lonely word.
評分##可讀性超強,非常簡短有力,強力推薦
評分##Emily Wilson 這個譯本閱讀起來完全無障礙,像我這樣對奧德賽故事不熟悉,第一次看的話非常推薦。接下去想讀讀希臘悲劇。
