Sobre este item
Norwalk, Connecticut: Press, 1978. Collector's Edition. Full Calf. VG Very Good. Royal octavo, [ 27cm/10.75 inches], full gilt-embossed ebony calf sans dust jacket, -as issued-, pp. xvi, 357, indexed. Colour frontis and textual illustrations by John Flaxman. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War. ... Alexander Pope (1688 1744) was an English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan period and one of its greatest artistic exponents. Considered the foremost English poet of the early 18th century and a master of the heroic couplet, he is best known for satirical and discursive poetry, including The Rape of the Lock, The Dunciad, and An Essay on Criticism, and for his translation of Homer. After Shakespeare, he is the second-most quoted author in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, some of his verses having entered common parlance (e.g. "damning with faint praise" or "to err is human; to forgive, divine").
