Book summary

After the Trojan War, Odysseus wants to return home to his island of Ithaca. But it will take him ten years of wandering: he faces the Cyclops, escapes the song of the Sirens and resists the charms of the enchantress Circe. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope fends off the suitors who have overrun her palace.

It is the greatest adventure in literature, so much so that its title has become a word: an odyssey.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read this great tale in the language you are learning.

The plot

两大险境之间的海峡。奥德修斯和水手们来到两块礁石之间的一道狭窄海峡。一块礁石下有个漩涡,每天三次吞没海水。另一块礁石里藏着斯库拉,一个长脖子怪物,会抓走路过的水手。奥德修斯怕手下不敢再划桨,没有把怪物的事告诉他们。

The world of the book

大海、岛屿与众神的世界。故事发生在传说中的希腊。人们乘着有桨有帆的长船,从一座岛航行到另一座岛。众神插手凡人的生活:海神波塞冬怨恨奥德修斯,智慧女神雅典娜则护佑着他。
