Homero

Rate this book
La literatura europea nace con la Ilíada y la Odisea, dos poemas que los griegos atribuyeron a Homero y que ejercieron una inmensa influencia en la literatura griega, romana y europea posterior. En esta concisa y magistral introducción a Homero y a su obra, inédita en español, Bowra analiza los hallazgos de estos saberes modernos y, gracias a su propia sensibilidad poética y erudición, nos brinda un conocimiento más profundo de estos dos poemas fundacionales. Así, examina con detalle las singulares exigencias de la narración oral y el ambiente de la edad heroica griega y dedica dos capítulos a abordar la Ilíada y la Odisea por separado.

At times a useful summary, at times even insightful, and at times the most infuriatingly boring reading of Homer I’ve ever come across

Maravilloso libro! Bowra es de una erudición sorprendente, pero también tiene un estilo claro y elegante, completamente alejado del discurso académico. Ha sido una delicia leerlo.
