enduring classics of western civilization, with luxurious silver

This ancient epic poem tells the story of Odysseus and his eventful
voyage home after the Trojan War. This edition uses Alexander Pope's
classic 1726 translation which perfectly captures the lyricism of this
epic poem. Featured alongside the text are wonderful illustrations
derived from John Flaxman's neoclassical designs, as well as a useful
introduction and commentary by George Davidson which allows you to
easily follow the action.
With gilded page-edges, silver embossed cover design and beautifully
