3.0 out of 5 stars
Lukewarm version in my opinion,
This review is from: The Odyssey (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
I spent quite a while comparing versions of the Odyssey. I tried this one for a short while before I ended up with my favorite...the Rieu! (2002 reprint/revised edition).
What I like about Shewring's version is the poetic and imaginative strength he brings at times (but not throughout) to the reader. The other thing I liked was the Font style. What I didn't like was his modern stale middle of the road intellectualism. Because of his choice of wording in sentences, it lacks the raciness and grip the story NEEDS! - Try it out for yourself, compare a few different versions and see which one resonates with you more! |
