Damage book, pages were torn :(
Returned Book Due to Damage – Pages Were TornI returned a book I received the very next day because several pages were torn. The item was listed as new, so I was surprised to find it in that condition. Utterly disappointing:( and it has been more than 6 days now i have not received by refund.

Clear readable prose translation
It's the Odyssey, so of course it's five stars. This is a clear, readable prose translation that will tell you the story; you get the content, but not the poetry. It's the original E.V. Rieu translation (which might have been the first Penguin Classic ever?), revised by his grandson to be a little more in line with contemporary English.Brooke Clark, author of Urbanities

Superb read…!!!
This was a superb readFor all those , who like me do want to get familiar with greek epics but dont want to get into complicated poetic versesThis version by EV rieu would be the perfect starting pointThe translator has simply translated the verses from the poem into simple to read prose formHighly recommended….!!!!!!
