The Iliad and the odyssey
COP $ 48.000Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector\'s body round the walls of Troy- scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer\'s heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia. Chapman\'s Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and most readable translations of Homer. Chapman\'s freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought.

The poems of Wilfred Owen
Sin existencias
COP $ 48.000In his draft preface, Wilfred Owen includes his well-known statement \'My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the Pity\'. All of his important poems were written in just over a year, and Dulce et Decorum Est, S.I.W., Futility and Anthem for Doomed Youth still have an astonishing power to move the reader. Owen pointed out that \'AII a poet can do today is to warn. That is why all true poets must be truthful\'. His warning was based on his acute observation of the soldiers with whom he served on the Western Front, and his poems reflect the horror and the waste of the First Wortd War. This volume contains all Owen\'s best-known poems, only four of which were published, in his lifetime. He was killed a week before the Armistice in November 1918.
