Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
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.
①古希腊谁无关英雄还是鼠辈,无一不把尊严看得比生命都重。为了自己和所爱之人的名誉,拼上性命或者打上一晚上的嘴炮是书中的常见戏码。即便在死后,亡魂依旧在为死后没有得到应有的安葬和超度而怨恨,荷马对于哈迪斯领域的规则描写巨细无数。 ②书中人物关于“承诺”的信守和...
评分《奥德赛》叙述了特洛伊战争结束后,奥德赛历经十年的漂泊返回家乡并杀戮了向他妻子求婚的人。从奥德修斯的讲述中,读到了他返乡的艰辛和路途险恶。书中的第二主角应该是雅典娜,她在这本书中出场次数较多。关于最后奥德修斯杀戮全部求婚者,以现在的观念看来是不正义和不...
评分 评分荷马是西方文学、宗教甚至哲学思想的开端,像任何伟大的开端一样,这个开端非常费解。古典作品中费解的地方实在很多,求得正解不容易——阅读古典作品需要耐性,不可指望种种费解之处很快(哪怕三年、五年甚至十年)就得到解答,何况,搞清楚费解之处的文本位置以及费解的问题...
终于踏马看完放假后想按照其路线来一次壮游
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。
评分本是写作课作业,但却真正的吸引了我。书中有人们对美德的追求,有mortals和immortals的共处,有闪耀的古希腊文明。印象深刻。
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。
评分为了跟尤利西斯对照阅读买的,封面和毛边装帧都好美。Emily Wilson的翻译轻灵敏捷干脆,不失文学性和韵律感。偶有几处用词太现代有点跳戏,整体流畅通顺。Intro第一页说到epic这个词有误导性,让人觉得史诗一定宏大辉煌,然而从词源看,a epic poem本质上只是一个被讲述的故事。 始终读不进富丽堂皇气势磅礴译本的我终于在Emily Wilson的帮助下读完了奥德赛。
