It's a good book, but in the chapter about Homer, the following amazing argument appears: "Over the course of the last one hundred years, it is quite possible that Tolstoy has been more widely read and more influential than Homer. But Tolstoy had no influence whatsoever during the preceding 26 centuries, whereas Homer's influence has continued for 2,700 years or more." What do you think of it?
