This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition.

Erewhon

The way of all flesh

Homer

Homer's two epics of the ancient world, The Iliad & The Odyssey, tell stories as riveting today as when they were written between the eighth and ninth century B.C. The Iliad, which tells of the siege of Troy by the Greeks, is an unforgettable tale of nations at war and of the courage and compassion heroic soldiers show upon the field of battle. The Odyssey is the story of the Greek hero Odysseus and the many marvels and challenges he encounters during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. This edition employs Samuel Butler's classic translations of both texts. The Iliad & The Odyssey is part of Barnes & Noble's series of quality leatherbound volumes. Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively designed edition bound in durable bonded leather. These books make elegant additions to any home library.

Hudibras

İlk kez 1872’de imzasız yayımlanan ve adı “hiçbir yer” (nowhere) sözcüğünün anagramı olan romanın başkişisi, zengin olma amacıyla hayalî bir ülkeye gider. Tuhaflıklarla dolu ülkede, sadece sosyal statü sağlayan paranın satın alma değeri yoktur; insanın yaşam mücadelesinde tehlikeli bir rakip olarak görülen makineler yasaklanmıştır; hastalanmak hapis cezası getiren bir suç sayılır; profesörler üniversite öğrencilerine hiçbir şey söylemeden uzun uzun konuşmayı öğretirler. Samuel Butler, bir serüven öyküsü gibi görünen romanda, Britanya İmparatorluğu’nun global bir endüstriyel güç konumuna geldiği Victoria döneminin teknik gelişimini hicvediyor; dönemin aile, kilise, hukuk kurumlarına kıvrak bir zekâyla eleştirel yorum getiriyor. #dünyaklasikleri #ingilizklasikleri #bilinmeyeneyolculuk #doğaylamücadele #keşif #serüven

Erewhon: or, Over the Range (e-re-whon) is a novel by Samuel Butler which was first published anonymously in 1872. The title is also the name of a country, supposedly discovered by the protagonist. In the novel, it is not revealed where Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be read as "nowhere" backwards even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed, as it would have been pronounced in his day (and still is in some dialects of English). The book is a satire on Victorian society. The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for about four years (1860-1864), and explored parts of the interior of the South Island and which he wrote about in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).

This adaptation of The Iliad by Homer is faithful to Samuel Butler's translation. This edition uses the Roman versions of the names of gods, and goddesses and heroes. A full reference index with pronunciation guide and glossary is included. The pages are divided into two columns of text and lines are short and often divided by punctuation such as a comma, period, or question mark, etc., which can make for fast and easy reading. This adaptation is in the stacked prose format that breaks up lines of text in the way you would read them aloud and is ideal for dramatic reading. Paragraphs are preceded by Butler's paragraph line numbers, but empty lines are inserted instead of paragraph indents. This adaptation makes the story easy to read without the hyphenation of words at the ends of lines. The human eye may get tired reading across a wide line of text, but when lines are short, the reading can be faster. The original Page Headings are included with references to Book and Chapter numbers. Lists of the parentage of sons and daughters are included. A description of the suitors and what happened to them is included. The original preface by Samuel Butler is retained as well as the illustrations and photos.

The Iliad Translated by Samuel Butler Roman Names Edition

Samuel Butler (4 December 1835 - 18 June 1902) was the iconoclastic English author of the Utopian satirical novel Erewhon (1872) and the semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman The Way of All Flesh, published posthumously in 1903. Both have remained in print ever since. In other studies he examined Christian orthodoxy, Samuel Butler developed a theory that the Odyssey came from the pen of a young Sicilian woman, and that the scenes of the poem reflected the coast of Sicily and its nearby islands. He described the "evidence" for this theory in his The Authoress of the Odyssey (1897) and in the introduction and footnotes to his prose translation of the Odyssey (1900)

Poet Homer

The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. Rendered here into English Prose and Translated by Samuel Butler. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the first. It is believed to have been composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The Odyssey is the story of survival and reconciliation following the ten-year battle with Troy. Where Achilles was defined by warrior brutality, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, is defined by his intelligence and wit. This epic poem follows Odysseus on his adventures as he struggles—against the threats of sea monsters and the temptation of the sirens’ song—to be reunited with his son Telemachus, his faithful, clever queen Penelope, and their kingdom.
