Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. New And Definitive Translation of Homer's epic poem. The crowning glory of Daniel Mendelsohn's achievement as poet, translator, and scholar. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. Presents Homer's "The Odyssey", in the magisterial translation by Daniel Mendelsohn. Complete with an illuminating Introduction and helpful, copious Notes appended at the end. The latter are valuable, and should be consulted, but should also not disrupt the continuous reading of the text itself. Mendelsohn's translation is in Classical dactylic hexameter, the rolling six-beat meter of ancient Greek epic poetry. In contrast, ALL other translations, particularly (the overrated) Emily Wilson's, are rendered in English iambic pentameter, the British-ism that, it is falsely claimed, updates and contemporizes the ancient epic, enhancing the latter with "a vivid, contemporary idiom". As if "relevance", that populist expectation, were more important than poetry itself. Instead, "Mendelsohn gives us a line-for-line rendering of 'The Odyssey' that is both engrossing as poetry and true to its source. Rejecting the streamlining and modernizing approach of many recent translations, he artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing, restores to Homer's masterwork its archaic grandeur. Mendelsohn's expansive six-beat line allows him to capture each of Homer's dense verses without sacrificing the amplitude and shading of the original. The result is the richest, most ample, most precise, and most musical 'Odyssey' in English, conveying the beauty of its poetry, the excitement of its hero's adventures, and the profundity of its insights. The authoritative version of this magnificent and enduringly influential masterpiece" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Homer and Daniel Mendelsohn collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Daniel Mendelsohn. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a Souvenir Bookmark of the bookstore that hosted the book launch in Chicago. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2007 for "The Lost". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine collectible copy.

Wraps. Condición: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 10 inches by 12.75 inches. Unpaginated (32 pages plus covers). Decorative cover. Profusely illustrated in color. Ink notation inside front cover at upper left. Ticked for Sunday March 20, 1983 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena laid in. This was presented by Irvin Feld and Kenneth Feld. Walt Disney's Great Ice Odyssey is the second Walt Disney's World On Ice show, produced by Irvin and Kenneth Feld. It originally toured in 1982. It is a time of celebration at Disneyland for it is the 55th anniversary of Mickey and Minnie's relationship. After the park closes for the evening, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and many other characters come out to celebrate the happy occasion. Unbeknownst to them, however, Queen Grimhilde, in her Castle of Sorrow, dislikes the idea of happiness and asks the Magic Mirror, "Magic Mirror On the Wall, tell me who dares to be more full of happiness than me." The Magic Mirror informs her of Mickey and Minnie's celebration, displeasing her. She plans to end their happiness before midnight. Meanwhile, Mickey and Minnie make plans of their own: to celebrate their occasion, they would do so with a big dress ball, with a special guest Prince Charming, who has been searching for his true love. Among the performers are John Carlow, Peter Cain, Elizabeth Cain, Susan Brodie, Almul Lehmann, Herbert Wiesinger, Jamie-Lynn Kitching, Ladrel, LaBorde, Ponces, Hans Leiter, Doughdee Marie, and Sheldon Cleaves. John Culhane wrote an article on the Felds. Cinderella is pleased to go to the ball, but her jealous stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella will not stand for it, so they destroy her dress and leave her to clean up the mess they make. However, her Fairy Godmother appears to fix everything, by instantly cleaning up the mess and by turning Cinderella's old dress into a brand-new, more beautiful gown and a pumpkin into a magnificent coach with which for her to get to the ball on time. In her castle, meanwhile, the Queen is working to come up with a spell to turn happiness into misery. She finally decides on enchanted ruby amulets to do the trick and summons a pair of ravens. She puts an amulet around each of their necks and dispatches them to test the amulets' powers on the first victim they find. Mickey and Minnie plan to invite the Three Little Pigs to the ball as well, and they drive off in Goofy's jalopy to do it, but the pigs are hesitant, because they are being threatened by the Big Bad Wolf. Fiddler Pig takes refuge in his house of straw, then in Fifer Pig's house of sticks, and finally, Practical Pig's house of bricks, as the first two houses fall victim to the wolf's blowing them down, but when the wolf reaches the Practical Pig's brick house with a machine, the Queen's ravens arrive and use the amulets around their necks to put the wolf under their spell. The ravens bring the now-terrified Wolf before the Queen, who then asks the Magic Mirror confidently of her plans to eradicate the two mice's happiness, only to be threatened by more bad news of not one, but two more happy couples: Donald and Daisy Duck, and Prince Charming and Cinderella, so the Queen sends the ravens to the ball to ruin their joy for good. The ball begins with a grand parade. No sooner do Mickey, Minnie and the prince arrive than Cinderella's own arrival steal the heart of the prince. The ball commences, but it is short-lived, for as the clock strikes midnight, the Queen's spell is cast, suspending everything in time. Then the ravens arrive and kidnap the ladies, and Goofy along with them. When the spell wears off and everyone comes out of their trance, Mickey, Donald, and Charming not only find their respective ladies vanished, but everything happy turned to sorrow. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother then appears to inform them of the whereabouts of the ladies in the Queen's Castle of Sorrow, so they all set off on their journey to save the day. In a dungeon at the Castle of Sorrow, Minnie, Daisy, Cinderella, and Goofy are all. Leonard Kamsler and Yousuf Karsh (Irvin Feld photo (ilustrador).…

"This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet."Edith Hall, The Telegraph A magnificent feat of translation, hailed by classicists and poets alike as a "momentous achievement": "thrilling," "rich and rhythmical," "superb," "mesmerizing," "searingly faithfulyet absolutely original." With this edition of Homer's Odyssey, the celebrated author, critic, and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn brings the great epic to vividly poetic new life. Widely known for his essays on classical literature and culture in The New Yorker and many other publications, Mendelsohn gives us a line-for-line rendering of The Odyssey that is both engrossing as poetry and true to its source. Rejecting the streamlining and modernizing approach of many recent translations, he artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualitiesmeter, enjambment, alliteration, assonanceand in so doing restores to Homer's masterwork its archaic grandeur. Mendelsohn's expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's dense verses without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most ample, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, conveying the beauty of its poetry, the excitement of its hero's adventures, and the profundity of its insights. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Daniel Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative version of this magnificent and enduringly influential masterpiece.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. UNBELIEVABLY SCARCE SIGNED, much less in this special way. FIRST EDITION STATED, later printing. Book is brand new and unread. Personally hand signed, dated, and located, directly to the full title page by the translator, the incomparable, Emily Wilson. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. NOT inscribed to anyone. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! A lean, fleet-footed translation that recaptures Homer s nimble gallop and brings an ancient epic to new life. The first great adventure story in the Western canon, 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. In this fresh, authoritative version the first English translation of The Odyssey by a woman & this stirring tale of shipwrecks, monsters, and magic comes alive in an entirely new way. Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, this engrossing translation matches the number of lines in the Greek original, thus striding at Homer s sprightly pace and singing with a voice that echoes Homer s music. Wilson s Odyssey captures the beauty and enchantment of this ancient poem as well as the suspense and drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, from the cunning goddess Athena, whose interventions guide and protect the hero, to the awkward teenage son, Telemachus, who struggles to achieve adulthood and find his father; from the cautious, clever, and miserable Penelope, who somehow keeps clamoring suitors at bay during her husband s long absence, to the complicated hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this translation as a more fully rounded human being than ever before. A fascinating introduction provides an informative overview of the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the major themes of the poem, 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 scholars, students, and general readers alike.

Wraps. Condición: Fair. Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches. 384 pages, plus covers. Illustrations. Introduction by John Finley. Cover is worn, torn, soiled, creased, and cover partially reglued to spine. This is the complete book--not a digest. The prose translation by T. E. Shaw (known to hundreds of thousands as Lawrence of Arabia( of Homer's great Greek epic poem was first published in 1932. At Shaw's instance, it appeared without any mentioned of the translator's name. Hailed by the Book-of-the-Month Club News as :one of the notable books of our time: and by the New York Herald Tribune as 'perhaps the most interesting translation of the world's most interesting book," it immediately became a best seller. Not until the tragic death of Shaw in 1935 were the publishers permitted to reveal that Lawrence of Arabia was responsible for this outstanding translation, a translation which the eminent critic, Dr. Henry Seidel Canby, has heartily recommended 'for everybody over twelve." In all editions of the book subsequent to his death, Shaw's name has appeared as translator. This special edition of The Odyssey of Homer has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Oxford University Press, New York. Overseas edition for the Armed Forces. Distributed by the Special Services division, A.S.F. for the Army, and by the Bureau of Naval Personnel for the Navy. U.S. Government Property. Not for sale. Published by Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime. This overseas edition/Armed Services Edition is among the rarest, if not the rarest, of the posthumously published work of T. E. Lawrence/T. E. Shaw. As can be imagined, although there were a large number of copies printed, relatively few have survived the ravages of combat, the other ravages of time, the ephemeral nature of these softcover wartime editions, and both intentional and inadvertent destruction. This 'fair condition' copy has literally been through the wars. It's survival over nearly eight decades rivals, in some ways, the survival through the oral tradition of the Odyssey of Homer until such time as it's majestic words could be captured in written form. Not only is this work of inestimable value to the serious Lawrence of Arabia collector, but it is equally significant to the classical scholar and those who appreciate a rowdy good tale. Edith Hamilton, whose reputation as a scholar of the ancient Greeks has no equal, wrote: Homer's poetry turned to prose. "I did not know that it was possible for a translation to reproduce so closely the beauty and delightfulness of Homer. I feel that Colonel Lawrence (T.E. Shaw) has given the poem back to the world that has ceased to read Greek. The Translator [Shaw/Lawrence] wrote: "For years we were digging up a city of roughly the Odysseus period. I have handled the weapons, armour, utensils of those times, explored their houses, planned their cities. I have hunted wild boars and watched wild lions, sailed the Aegean (and sailed ships), bent bows, lived with pastoral peoples, woven textiles, built boats and killed many men. So I have odd knowledges that qualify me to understand the Odyssey, and odd experiences that interpret it to me." Armed Services Edition; Overseas Edition.…
