The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus' killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer's theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background.Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.

Witness what the gods do after dark in the second volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology from creator Rachel Smythe.Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home—from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo—and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods.

As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.This full-color edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.This volume collects episodes 26–49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

After looking for him in the poems, we search for him in the prose. The pursuit of the Other in Pessoa's work is never-ending,' writes Edwin Honig. Essential to understanding the great Portuguese poet are the essays written about (and by) his heteronyms—Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos—the several pseudonyms under which he wrote an extraordinary body of poetry. In Always Astonished, Pessoa and his several selves debate and discuss one another's work, revealing how Portuguese modernism was shaped. Fernando Pessoa is one of the great voices of twentieth-century literature, and these manifestos, letters, journal notes, and critical essays range through aesthetics, lyric poetry, dramatic and visual arts, and the psychology of the artist. He gives us, too, a singularly heterodox political position in his strange work of fiction, The Anarchist Banker.

Espacio vital -publicado originalmente como Elbow Room en 1977- es el epítome de lo que James Alan McPherson significó para la literatura de su tiempo, que es también el nuestro. Ser un escritor negro en los Estados Unidos marcó tanto la escritura de McPherson como la percepción que de él tuvo el mundillo literario que le tocó vivir, un mundillo en el que, a golpe de codazos, supo abrirse un espacio vital donde permitirse ser auténtico. Los doce relatos que están recogidos en este volumen, con el que McPherson se convirtió en el primer autor afroamericano en recibir un premio Pulitzer en la categoría de ficción (en 1978), continúan apelando a un mundo extrañamente familiar de desigualdades e injusticias, de violencias e incomprensiones, pero también de lucha y reivindicación. Un ejemplo irrefutable de la destreza narrativa de McPherson, con un característico tono desenfadado que rebosa humor y que acerca las historias a la narrativa oral. Espacio vital sigue interpelándonos a pesar de los años transcurridos. McPherson, en su momento, asumió la responsabilidad de concebir estas inolvidables historias, nos corresponde ahora la responsabilidad de leerlas e intentar hacer del mundo que reflejan un lugar distinto y, si tenemos un poco de suerte, un lugar mejor.

'Art dies the moment it acquires authority.'' So said Japan's quintessential rebel writer Osamu Dazai, who, disgusted with the hypocrisy of every kind of establishment, from the nation's obsolete aristocracy to its posturing, warmongering generals, went his own way, even when that meant his death-and the death of others. Faced with pressure to conform, he declared his individuality to the world-in all its self-involved, self-conscious, and self-hating glory. ''Art,'' he wrote, ''is 'I.''' In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai's life mirrored his art, and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame, and falls again.
