Sinopse
In this graceful and sweeping addition to the Books that Changed the World series, Alberto Manguel traces the lineage of these epic poems. He considers their original purpose, either as allegory or record of history; surveys the challenges the pagan poems presented to the early Christian world; and traces their spread after the Reformation. Following Homer through the greatest literature ever created, Manguel's book above all delights in the poems themselves, the "primordial spring without which there would have been no culture".
Resumo da Crítica
"Manguel is not only a gentleman and a scholar but a gentleman as a scholar, offering constellations of connected readings and insight with grace, humor, and tact." (The New Yorker)
