What can one say about a story that has been entertaining, enchanting, and educating the human race from the very border of recorded history until today? Homer’s epic poem of the wandering and homecoming of Odysseus (aka Ulysses) is a grand adventure, where fact, myth, gods, and people meet, settle, then set off again, transformed by one another. It is one of the very few books, classic or not, that no one should miss and that every reader can enjoy. Narrative itself is the currency of the book, and a reader’s encounter with The Odyssey crackles with the energy of “What happens next?”

I read parts of this during my years at secondary school, and I was impressed by the breadth of the storytelling and the depth of the characters.
