Cover is worn, torn, soiled, creased, and cover partially reglued to spine. This is the complete book--not a digest. The prose translation by T. E. Shaw (known to hundreds of thousands as Lawrence of Arabia( of Homer's great Greek epic poem was first published in 1932. At Shaw's instance, it appeared without any mentioned of the translator's name. Hailed by the Book-of-the-Month Club News as :one of the notable books of our time: and by the New York Herald Tribune as 'perhaps the most interesting translation of the world's most interesting book," it immediately became a best seller. Not until the tragic death of Shaw in 1935 were the publishers permitted to reveal that Lawrence of Arabia was responsible for this outstanding translation, a translation which the eminent critic, Dr. Henry Seidel Canby, has heartily recommended 'for everybody over twelve." In all editions of the book subsequent to his death, Shaw's name has appeared as translator. This special edition of The Odyssey of Homer has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Oxford University Press, New York. Overseas edition for the Armed Forces. Distributed by the Special Services division, A.S.F. for the Army, and by the Bureau of Naval Personnel for the Navy. U.S. Government Property. Not for sale. Published by Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime. This overseas edition/Armed Services Edition is among the rarest, if not the rarest, of the posthumously published work of T. E. Lawrence/T. E. Shaw. As can be imagined, although there were a large number of copies printed, relatively few have survived the ravages of combat, the other ravages of time, the ephemeral nature of these softcover wartime editions, and both intentional and inadvertent destruction. This 'fair condition' copy has literally been through the wars. It's survival over nearly eight decades rivals, in some ways, the survival through the oral tradition of the Odyssey of Homer until such time as it's majestic words could be captured in written form. Not only is this work of inestimable value to the serious Lawrence of Arabia collector, but it is equally significant to the classical scholar and those who appreciate a rowdy good tale. Edith Hamilton, whose reputation as a scholar of the ancient Greeks has no equal, wrote: Homer's poetry turned to prose. "I did not know that it was possible for a translation to reproduce so closely the beauty and delightfulness of Homer. I feel that Colonel Lawrence (T.E. Shaw) has given the poem back to the world that has ceased to read Greek. The Translator [Shaw/Lawrence] wrote: "For years we were digging up a city of roughly the Odysseus period. I have handled the weapons, armour, utensils of those times, explored their houses, planned their cities. I have hunted wild boars and watched wild lions, sailed the Aegean (and sailed ships), bent bows, lived with pastoral peoples, woven textiles, built boats and killed many men. So I have odd knowledges that qualify me to understand the Odyssey, and odd experiences that interpret it to me." Armed Services Edition; Overseas Edition.
