The Iliad: Homer (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

My daughter has several of these editions now and loves them. They look great and are good quality. Work really well as a gift too.

When it comes to The Iliad, don't bother reading any other reviews. Just buy the book and read it for yourself. If you like mythology, adventure and an engrossing read, then this is for you. Greta to read this prior to the Odyssey. The clothbound book is great quality and makes a great addition to the bookshelf! The price is reasonable, but price doesn't matter for these books. Very pleased.

love it

Lovely

This range of books are beautiful and look really nice when you have a few on a book shelf, this was bought for a family member as a gift. I was somewhat disappointed that there was a barcode sticker on the back of each one that I purchased, this left a nasty dirty square sticky residue on the back when peeled off, which spoiled the book cover. The material of the cover isn't really the type to be able to easily cleaned either @Amazon, please stop putting stickers on them....remember your book loving roots.

Everyone should read the Iliad. I did after 50 years when I first read parts. The admiral Hector always deserved better from the Gods. Achilles in many ways a contemptible dark shadow of little worth except to the Greek war machine. Not a spoiler I hope! A decent translation but sometimes unnecessary modern idioms used.

It is a beautiful book for very reasonable price. Thank you.

The cover is beautiful. If you're looking for a shelf-piece then this is certainly a good item. I have another copy which I used for studying, and the translation is good. Although not as interesting story-wise as the Odyssey, it's a great read. Just skip chapter 2 if you know what's best for you.

Ein Buch...perfekt
