E.V. Rieu’s beloved translation of the great war epic of Western literature, revised and updated by D. C. H. Rieu

One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode of the Trojan War. At its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his conflict with his leader Agamemnon. Interwoven in the tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, the besieged city of Ilium, the feud between the gods, and the fate of mortals.

For this Penguin Classics edition, classicist D. C. H. Rieu has revised the work of his father, E. V. Rieu, celebrated translator and founding editor of the Penguin Classics imprint. The book also includes an introduction and notes by Peter V. Jones.

When Shadows Fall

3.900,00 د.ج
A hundred times a hundred seasons have passed since the Goddess banished the Small Gods to the sky, stripped them of their power, and erased their names from history.

Cast out but not forgotten, they bide their time awaiting the opportunity to exact their revenge.

While exploring a forgotten chamber, Prince Teryk and Princess Danya uncover an arcane scroll that speaks of impossible things--a barren mother, a man from across the sea, and the return of the Small Gods. After discovering the prophecy, Teryk believes himself the one chosen to save the kingdom, but Danya isn't so sure.

Despite his sister's doubts, Teryk sets out on a dangerous quest to unlock the secrets of the scroll, risking everything to prove his worth to their father, the king. As he delves deeper into the prophecy, unaware of the powerful forces he's set in motion, he discovers his destiny may not be what he expected and his fight for the kingdom's salvation may cost him more than he ever imagined.

As the prince questions everything he thought he knew about himself, his destiny, and the Small Gods, will he be able to save all he holds dear, or will his quest for glory cost him everything?

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
