Great translation and beautiful book
Very good translation. A lot of people told me Emily Wilson's translation was great and I agree: it's easy to read and understand and pleasant to read out loud. I also really like the cover. The additional content at the end were fun too (some maps and extracts of words realted to the odyssey). The paper used inside is pretty thin so it seems a little fragile but i like how it makes the book feel more precious. Also the shipping was faster than i expected (shipped to france), in good condition, and with a cute bookmark :)
