Odisea (edición limitada con cantos tintados)

The journey of Odysseus has become a universal myth, and the Odyssey a timeless read. After a decade of war, an offense against the god Poseidon has banished the cunning hero from his kingdom for another ten years, condemned to sail aimlessly and endure countless hardships. The Odyssey, which follows the fall of Troy, traces the steps of Odysseus —the Latin name for Ulysses, which this translation adopts— and brings us closer to the story of his long pilgrimage to return home to Ithaca. The myths that shape this great epic, Homer's ability to portray life in the Mediterranean at the end of the 2nd century BC, and the emergence of a hero yearning to return to his homeland have left their mark on the great authors of literature—from Virgil to Joyce—and have made the Odyssey a cornerstone of world culture.
