  8. Reading and seeing all of this talk about The Odyssey and wondering what the fuss is about? Trying to give it a read and getting lost in all of the references? I've got you covered!

    Through my little publishing company, I have just reprinted William Lucas Collins' excellent primer on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey:

  19. Dans les salles : The Odyssey

    Spécialiste des blockbusters monumentaux, Christopher Nolan s’empare de l’épopée homérique pour raconter le voyage de retour à Ithaque sous forme de conte sombre. Ici, pas d’exploration des mythes ni des interventions divines. Les éléments désormais caractéristiques du réalisateur sont au rendez-vous : un casting de prestige, des séquences entrelaçant le passé et le présent, et un regard centré sur l’absolution d’un homme, Ulysse, tourmenté par les remords.
