Los mejores libros jamás escritos.
El viaje de Ulises se ha convertido en un mito universal y la Odisea en una lectura para todos los tiempos.
Tras una década de guerra, una ofensa al dios Poseidón ha alejado de su reino al astuto héroe otros diez años, condenado a navegar sin rumbo y a sufrir las más diversas vicisitudes. La Odisea, que sucede a la caída de Troya, sigue los pasos de Ulises -el nombre latino de Odiseo, que esta traducción adopta- y nos acerca al relato de su largo peregrinaje para volver al hogar, Ítaca. Los mitos que configuran esta gran epopeya, la capacidad de Homero para retratar la vida en el Mediterráneo a finales del 2000 a.C. y la irrupción de un héroe deseoso de regresar a la patria han dejado huella en los grandes autores de la literatura -de Virgilio a Joyce- y han convertido la Odisea en una pieza clave de la cultura universal.
La presente edición cuenta con un prólogo y la magnífica versión en verso de Fernando Gutiérrez, así como una introducción y un aparato de notas elaborado por el traductor y periodista Joan Casas, y un epílogo escrito por el poeta, ensayista y traductor José Ángel Valente.
«Los mortales se atreven, ¡ay!, siempre a culpar a los dioses porque dicen que todos sus males nosotros les damos, y son ellos que, con sus locuras, se atraen infortunios que el Destino jamás decretó.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Christopher Nolan brings Homer’s legendary epic to the big screen in a spectacular adaptation of The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon.
The best books ever written.
The voyage of Ulysses has become a universal myth, and The Odyssey a text for all times.
After a decade of battle, an insult to the God Poseidon dooms Ulysses to wander for another ten years, lost at sea and encountering unimaginable hardships and trials. Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, The Odyssey tells the adventures of Ulysses – the Roman name for Odysseus, used in this translation – during his long journey home to Ithaca. Over the centuries, the myths stemming from this epic poem, Homer’s skill at transporting us to the lands of the Mediterranean circa 2000 B.C., and the passion of a hero yearning for his homeland have had an indelible influence on great authors ranging from Virgil to Joyce, making The Odyssey a core universal text.
This new edition features a prologue and the magnificent verse of Fernando Gutiérrez; an introduction and notes by translator and journalist Joan Casas; and an epilogue by poet, essayist and translator José Ángel Valente.
“Mortals put the blame upon us gods, for they say evil comes from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given.”
