书籍简介
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, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation-the first by a woman-matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer"s sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and an iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting "rhythm and rumble" that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur.
An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice that allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer"s descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero"s adventures, Wilson recaptures what is "epic" about this wellspring of world literature.
《奥德赛》是西方经典中第一个伟大的冒险故事，是一首关于暴力和战争余波的诗;关于财富、贫穷和权力;关于婚姻、家庭和身份;还有关于旅行者、好客以及在一个陌生的世界里家的意义的变化。这个生动的新译本——第一个由女人翻译的译本——与希腊原作的行数相当，大步迈进荷马的轻快步伐。艾米莉·威尔逊(Emily Wilson)使用了元素丰富、共振的语言和抑扬格五步格，创作出了一种迷人的“节奏和隆隆声”(rhythm and rumble)译本，避免了彰显自己的伟大。
这是一个引人入胜的故事，以一种引人注目的新声音讲述，让当代读者陶醉于荷马的描述和明喻，并为主人公的冒险经历的紧张和兴奋而激动。威尔逊重温了关于这个世界文学源泉的“史诗”。
