Ein Mann gegen Sirenen, Zyklopen und launische Götter
Die Odyssee erzählt die abenteuerliche Heimreise des Königs von Ithaka nach dem Trojanischen Krieg - voller Schiffbrüche, gefährlicher Ungeheuer, verführerischer Sirenen und Launen der Götter. Dabei beweist der sagenumwobene Held Odysseus seinen Mut, Scharfsinn und tiefe Menschlichkeit. Dieses klassische Werk gilt als Fundament der abendländischen Literatur, verbindet Generationen und wirkt durch seine erzählerische Kraft bis heute.
Die legendären Irrfahrten des Odysseus in neuem Glanz - und moderner Prosafassung.
Taschenbuch
Kurt Steinmanns vielgelobte Versübertragung der »Odyssee« verbindet in idealer Weise hohe Texttreue mit sprachlicher Eleganz. Mühelos gelingt es ihm, dem jahrtausendealten Menschheitsepos um die Abenteuer des listenreichen Odysseus und dessen Gefährten neues Leben einzuhauchen. So erstrahlen einige der berühmtesten Episoden der Weltliteratur - die Gefangenschaft beim Kyklopen Polyphem, die verführerischen Gesänge der Sirenen, die Bedrohung durch Skylla und Charybdis - in frischem Glanz. Von der Sorgfalt der reich kommentierten Neuübersetzung - erstmals 2007 bei Manesse erschienen - zeugt auch die Taschenbuch-Ausgabe des kanonischen Großklassikers.

Der krönende Abschluss der Mythos-Tetralogie: Die berühmteste Heldengeschichte aller Zeiten
Troja ist gefallen. Nach zehn Jahren Krieg lockt für die Griechen endlich die Heimat. Während Agamemnon zu Hause die Rache Klytaimnestras erwartet, ist Odysseus dazu verdammt, über die Meere zu irren. Dabei muss er sich einäugigen Riesen, verführerischen Nymphen, schrecklichen Seeungeheuern und tosenden Stürmen stellen, um nach Ithaka zu seiner klugen Frau Penelope zurückzukehren.
In einer grandios unterhaltsamen Neuerzählung des Homer'schen Epos lädt uns der Erfolgsautor Stephen Fry dazu ein, die faszinierende Welt der griechischen Mythen, Götter und Helden neu zu entdecken. Fast wünscht man sich dabei, diese Irrfahrt würde nie enden.
