Mitología

El gran clásico que ha cautivado y deleitado a millones de lectores alrededor del mundo con sus relatos atemporales de los dioses y los héroes que nos han inspirado desde el origen de los tiempos. Publicada por primera vez en 1942, la Mitología de Edith Hamilton se convirtió rápidamente en una obra de referencia sobre los grandes relatos mitológicos. Conocido por sus continuas reediciones en inglés y en sus múltiples traducciones, este compendio de los mitos griegos, latinos y nórdicos constituye uno de esos libros imprescindibles en toda biblioteca. "La clara intención de Hamilton es despojar al campo olímpico y sus manifestaciones de grandilocuencia pero no de grandiosidad. No hay aquí hinchazones ni tampoco simplificaciones. Hay, por el contrario, una sabiduría que se apasiona por sus temas y que se nos desea transmitir con rigor y levedad, con viveza y suspicacia, y también con la libertad que generan la ironía y el humor. Y, sobre todo, esa sabiduría está habitada por el feliz propósito de dar cauce a un relato continuado, fluido, casi infinito. Las voces que retumban en el libro son las voces de las fuentes originales (Homero, Lucio, Ovidio, Apolonio, Virgilio, las sagas y las Eddas nórdicas) que se reordenan y se transforman al encadenarse a una secuencia elocuente que les impone una nobleza alta, un ritmo que no desmaya, un embrujo palpitante."
