Reseña del editor:
The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy is the glorious saga of the events of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Padraic Colum's retelling of Homer's classic epics for children is still considered by many to be the finest introduction young readers will ever have to Homer. The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy combines the broad stories of both the Iliad and the Odyssey, weaving a fast-paced tale sure to enthrall children and adults alike.
Biografía del autor:
Padraic Colum (1881-1972), an Irish poet, novelist, dramatist, biographer and collector of folklore, was one of the leading figures of the Celtic Revival. After immigrating to America, Colum took up children's writing and published a number of collections of stories for children, beginning with The King of Ireland's Son (1916). This book came about when Colum started translating an Irish folk tale from Gaelic because he did not want to forget the language; After it was published in the New York Tribune, Hungarian Illustrator Willy Pógany suggested the possibility of a book collaboration, so Colum wove the folktale into a long, epic story. Three of his books for children were awarded retrospective citations for the Newbery Honor. A contract for children's literature with Macmillan Publishers made him financially secure for the rest of his life. Colum was a prolific author who wrote 61 books, not counting his plays.
