Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales . . . his wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read' Observer \n\n '[A] jaunty version of Homer. . . The last in Fry's four-book retelling of the Greek myths is relatable and full of humour' Guardian, Book of the Day \n\n ' The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters ' Daily Mail \n\n ---- \n\n Troy has fallen - and the victorious Greeks head home . . . \n\nSetting sail, hero Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife Penelope, and of teaching his son Telemachus a warrior's ways. However, gods toy with the desires of little mortals. Angered by this upstart's presumption, Poseidon - God of the ocean realms - curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.\n\nEncountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man's endurance.\n\nYet he is no mere mortal - and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his destiny . . .\n\n A tale of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope, Stephen Fry's Odyssey sees the author and national treasure weave together the final fabulous threads of the tapestry begun in worldwide bestseller, Mythos. It is a story for the ages - and all ages. \n----\n 'Odyssey completes his Greek Myths series in marvellous fashion. . . Fry, a born storyteller, succeeds again in making the ancient stories accessible' Irish Independent \n\n'Accessible storytelling and Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour. Hard to beat' Guardian \n Praise for Stephen Fry's Greek Myths series: \n\n'Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' The Times \n\n'Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail \n\n'A head-spinning marathon of legends' Guardian \n\n'A rollicking good read' Independent \n\n'An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit' Evening Standard\nSunday Times bestseller, October 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780241486368\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e26.09.2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eFry, Stephen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenzahl\/Blattzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e432\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eFICTION \/ Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003emythology; books for men; myth; lord of the rings; anthony horowitz; game of thrones; hilary mantel; wolf hall; song of achilles; norse mythology; yuval noah harari; pat barker; mary beard; michael wood; greek myths; natalie haynes; a thousand ships; seamus heaney; susanna clarke; david olusoga; j k rowling; simon schama; osman thursday murder club; ian rankin latest book; the silk roads; bettany hughes; peter may books in order; the gates of athens; the mirror \u0026amp; the light; british classics; the sunday times books; conn iggulden books in order; fiction; novels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eAntike (griechisch-römisch) \/ Mythologie, Götterwelt~Antike (griechisch-römisch) \/ Religion, Kulte~Englische Bücher \/ Belletristik \/ Märchen, Sage~Griechenland (Antike) \/ Mythologie, Götterwelt, Religion, Kulte~Griechenland (Antike) \/ Sage, Fabel~Sage~Volkssage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eMythen und Legenden (fiktional)~Altgriechische Religion und Mythologie~Monster und legendäre Wesen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eImprint-Titels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eMichael Joseph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e233 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e154 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Fry, Stephen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54575889121606,"sku":"6892475","price":18.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000002102213.jpg?v=1762163582","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/products\/fry-stephen-odyssey-1","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
