Biografía del autor:
The classic translation of The Odyssey, now in an unabridged audio edition. Robert Fitzgerald's translation of Homer's Odyssey is the best and best-loved modern translation of the greatest of all epic poems. Since 1961, this Odyssey has sold more than two million copies, and it is the standard translation for three generations of students and poets. Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish a new audio edition of this classic work. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited to the story of Odysseus' long journey back to his wife and home after the Trojan War. Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger reaches the English-language reader in all its glory. Of the many translations published since World War II, only Fitzgerald's has won admiration as a great poem in English. The noted classicist D. S. Carne-Ross explains the many aspects of its artistry in his Introduction, written especially for this new edition.
Homer (9th–8th century b.c.) is the traditionally ascribed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems of ancient Greece. Nothing is certain about his life—including his very existence—but it is said that he was a blind Ionian poet. Some scholars believe he may have composed the Iliad and the Odyssey, relying on the techniques of oral tradition, and that these oral poems were later standardized and transcribed.
