Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an epic poem by the author, telling the story of a blind stranger's journey to his homeland. Having spent long years away, he returns to the land of his birth, guided by his son, hoping to find a place to rest. As an old man sits by the shore, he witnesses the arrival of a boat carrying the stranger and his son. Recognizing the stranger's voice, the old man is filled with a mix of joy and sorrow. Through their conversation, it is revealed that the stranger is none other than the renowned poet Homer, who has returned home after many years of wandering. The poem delves into themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and the enduring power of art. Homer's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of finding one's place in the world and leaving a lasting legacy through creative expression.
