157.The Odyssey: Unabridged (Penguin Classics) by: Homer, Bernard M.W. Knox March 17, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £17.95
I will avoid hubris by not attempting to rate "the Odyssey" per se! My five stars are for the translation by E.V. Rieu in the Penguin Classics edition, updated by his son and Peter Jones to make it even more readable for the current generation. The transparent, joyful prose makes this a superb experience for child or adult. It doesn't read like a translation. There is no tortured struggle with the Greek. There are no King James' bible archaisms. I can't see how it could be made more accessible or joyful for modern readers. If a teenager watches a film of this epic and asks for the "book version", give them this this! They will instantly get the message that the film version is never better than the original book. One reviewer had ... Read More:

158.The Faerie Queene: Abridged (The great works) by: Edmund Spenser 1998-10
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
The literature of Spenser, unlike that of Shakespeare or other contemporaries, is almost always printed with the exact spelling found at at time. I guess this could throw a lot of people off course, but it really is just one of the many amazing elements of this book. As well as the fantastic and fabulous content, the reader becomes aware and synchronised with the linguistic element of such poetic beauty as well. As an English student, I'm probably slightly biased about the accessibility of the book, but I'd only read a handful of plays from the late 1500s and early 1600s before launching into it. Although being vaguely familar with the syntax of the period, it was unlike anything I'd looked at previously. But whether you intend ... Read More:

159.The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis from: Time Warner International 2002-02
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.39 You Save: £1.60 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.92
The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, selected and introduced by Caroline Kennedy, is a beautiful book which is both a memorial to our former First Lady & a testimonial to how cultured & informed she was. The volume is also a short course in poetry, as it spans the centuries & includes works by such renowned authors as Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, Homer, W.B. Yeats, Emily Dickinson, e e cummings, & Robert Frost. Onassis' beloved poems reveal her in depth in a manner the newspapers could not, as a patriotic American, a loving bride, a thinker, a dreamer, an adventurer, a humorist, a poet, & perhaps most of all, a dedicated & loving mother. Surely there is no better tribute ... Read More:
