Perfect Gift for a Greek Mythology Lover!
This classic-style combo book of The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer was an absolutely wonderful gift! The recipient loves Greek mythology, and they were thrilled to receive such an iconic collection of epic stories. The book has a beautiful, timeless design that feels special and high-quality. perfect for display on a bookshelf or for serious reading. It’s a great way to experience two of the most important works in Greek literature all in one volume. This made an incredibly thoughtful and meaningful present, and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys mythology, classics, or ancient history!

Fast delivery. Arrived in great condition.
It is a beat edition which I will treasure. The only negative is the late 19th century language. Especially when a character is addressing the Deity. Thee, thou etc. But otherwise, excellent and the paper quality is top notch.

edição
O livro, anunciado como uma edição de luxo, nao é mais do que uma edição em capa dura bastante simples. Nao se deram ao trabalho de plastificar ou envernizar a capa do livro. O livro chegou com uma batida na lombada (na quina) que descascou o papel da capa! Compro muitos livros na Amazon, que reputo como uma empresa seria, mas dizer que isto é uma" edição de luxo ", é uma inverdade. Ediçoes como os livros da Martin Claret, Antophagica, Companhia das Letras e outras, sao mesmo, algumas delas, ediçoes de luxo, livros para ler, guardar, colecionar,mas nao este que comprei agora. Como ainda não li esta edição, espero mesmo que a tradução seja tao esmerada como diz a Amazon. De ultimas, dou valor a uma edição caprichada porque considero que os livros fazem parte das nossas historias de vida, então o CONTEUDO e a apresentação dever ser os melhores!
