'Grey-eyed Athena sent them a following breeze, the fresh- 
blowing westerly, whistling over the wine-dark sea'

Twenty years after setting out to fight in the Trojan War, Odysseus is yet to return home to Ithaca. His household is in disarray: a horde of over 100 disorderly and arrogant suitors are vying to claim Odysseus' wife Penelope, and his young son Telemachus is powerless to stop them. Meanwhile, Odysseus is driven beyond the limits of the known world, encountering countless divine and earthly challenges. But Odysseus is 'of many wiles' and his cunning and bravery eventually lead him home, to reclaim both his family and his kingdom. 

The Odyssey rivals the Iliad as the greatest poem of Western culture and is perhaps the most influential text of classical literature. This elegant and compelling new translation is accompanied by a full introduction and notes that guide the reader in understanding the poem and the many different contexts in which it was performed and read.

Modern Eloquence

Después del éxito de su obra, con más de 5,000,000 de ejemplares vendidos, la escritora Elísabet Benavent vuelve con Mientras espero, una obra a caballo entre el cuaderno de viaje y el diario personal. Espera y escucha con atención... por debajo del ruido de las conversaciones, de las obligaciones, del no saber... Escucha ahora que las horas se extienden en la puerta de embarque, en la soledad de una habitación de hotel, bajo el agua de la ducha, mientras acaricias las páginas de tu próxima lectura... y esperas. Entre la música que escuchas, los mensajes que recibes, la eterna lista de pendientes... Aguarda con calma y escucha. &gt;ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Following the success of her book, which has sold over 5,000,000 copies, author Elísabet Benavent returns with While I Wait, a work that straddles the line between a travel journal and a personal diary. Wait and listen carefully... beneath the noise of conversations, of obligations, of not knowing... Listen now as the hours stretch out at the boarding gate, in the solitude of a hotel room, under the shower, as you run your fingers over the pages of your next book... and you wait. Amid the music you listen to, the messages you receive, the never-ending to-do list... Wait calmly and listen. There it is, at last, your voice.

Modern Speeches

Why do we write poetry? Who should create it? And where do you even start? Well, Brian Bilston, one of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets, is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse, and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI. Showcasing over a hundred brand-new poems, and including practical critiques of some of his greatest hits, every page is an immensely pleasurable deep-dive into the life-affirming craft of poetry and a passionate argument for why we should all pick up a pen. How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside is for anyone who loves words and all the things they can do. Reader Reviews: 'Love the author's humorous take on creating poetry . . . absolutely brilliant!' 'I laughed my way through the book.' 'I'm not a poetry aficionado but this book made me feel like I could write poetry!' 'A lighthearted gambol through the topic of poetry' 'Absolutely hilarious - the kind of poems you'll love even if you don't consider yourself a 'poetry person''
