The Odyssey - Gillian Cross

Descriere The Odyssey - Gillian Cross

A Wall Street Journal 20 Best Children's Books of the Past 20 Years Selection \nEvery image seems to have been created with unhurried care; it's a quiet but monumental piece of work. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) \n \nOdysseus faces storm and shipwreck, a terrifying man-eating Cyclops, the alluring but deadly Sirens, and the fury of the sea-god Poseidon as he makes his ten-year journey home from the Trojan War. And while Odysseus struggles to return to Ithaca, his wife, Penelope, fights a different kind of battle as her palace is invaded by forceful, greedy men who tell her that Odysseus is dead and she must choose a new husband. Will Odysseus reach her in time? Homer's epic, age-old story is powerfully told by Carnegie Medalist Gillian Cross and stunningly illustrated by Neil Packer. \n \n
