Welcome to Litsy!

Loved loved loved this book. If you have a Homeric or Classical bone in your body look it up. Its called The Iliad/The Odyssey: a biography in english. I read it in 24 hours. Manguel has the ability to put scholar work in layman terms and always make things interesting. It's amazing the impact these books have had in literature, history, etc.

"Toda gran obra literaria es o la Ilíada o la Odisea"
"Every great work of literature is either the Iliad or the Odyssey."
