Krátky popis
When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey&,nbsp,appeared
in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was
“fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller,&,nbsp,The
Washington Post)—critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan
Chira,&,nbsp,The New York Times) and “a cultural landmark”
(Charlotte Higgins,&,nbsp,Guardian) that would forever change
how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an
equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic—the most
revered war poem of all time. The Iliad roars with the clamour of
arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss
and the anguished cries of dying men.It sings, too, of the sublime
magnitude of the world—the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’
grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this
thrilling, magical and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace
befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant
language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably
real, even “complicated,” characters—both human and divine. The
culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most
surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry,
Wilson’s&,nbsp,Iliad&,nbsp,now gives us a complete Homer
for our generation.Specially bound paperback edition, with
deckle-edging (rough-cut) pages and French flaps.&,nbsp,
