Book Description

Excerpt from The Adventures of Ulysses Some have even supposed that in the hero of the Odys sey we have the best portrait of Homer himself. If so, we know that he was not simply a poet, but, like Ulysses, a man of many resources and many devices - a sort of Greek Yankee, always equal to the occasion, who could fight, sing, or flatter his way through all difficulties, and was sure of success in the end. To understand and enjoy this little book of Charles Lamb's, one must know something of what precedes it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
