In this video I cover the ancient Greek epic poem, originally written in Attic Greek, the 'Iliad' by Homer/Homerus. It was written sometimes between 1260–1180 BC, and you could say that the 'Odyssey' is the prequel to the 'Iliad', also written by Homer. • The poem is written in dactylic hexameter and it's set during the Trojan War. • This specific edition is translated by the American poet, critic and translator Robert Fitzgerald. • It's also introduced by Gregory Nagy, contains selected bibliography and information about the introducer and translator. • The book is bound in a brown cloth with acid-free neutral, cream-wove paper. The paper is somewhat thin, but I'd say it has the standard thickness for EL books. • I'm very happy with this edition and it has everything you used to expect from Everyman's Library editions! • Thank you so much for watching. If you want more EL Collection videos then make sure to like and subscribe! • Have a lovely day! • [About my channel: This channel is about books, BUT with a little twist compared to other Booktubers! I actually cover the physical aspect of books compared to the content which the author writes. • On my channel you will mainly see editions from the Folio Society, Everyman's Library, Deluxe editions by Harper Collins, Centipede Press books (in the future), small press books (in the future), letterpress books (in the future) and limited editions! • I usually go through the binding (is the book bound in cloth, buckram, paper, leather... etc), the paper (is it acid-free? Thickness? Overall quality?), illustrations (if the book has any), is it sewn or glud(?)... Things like that, I think you get it! :-) • I think book publishers are pretty bad at giving us enough information about the books we buy online. Not everyone have the chance to see the books they buy beforehand. Especially not since the departure of the open bookshop that the Folio Society had. • I hope you will get help from my videos! I love helping others and books plus reading is one of my main interests and passions in life. • My plan for my library is to focus on classic literature, but I still want a well rounded collection, everything from ancient greek works (as seen in this video) to fantasy stories by Neil Gaiman. I really like gothic and Victorian literature. My favourite authors from the 19th-century include Mary Shelley, Anthony Trollope, Dostoyevsky. As for the 20th-century; then I'd say H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur C. Clarke, J.R.R. Tolkien and George Orwell. • But yeah, my favourite genres are gothic, Victorian, science-fiction, horror, historical fiction... I have so far not read much non-fiction so I don't really know if I would enjoy it or not. I'm sure I'd find history and biographies to be of my liking. • My main inspiration to start this channel was another book collecting channel called Leather Library. But sadly, Leather Library has not been uploading any videos in a long time, especially not Folio Society Reviews. So I am pretty much the only, living , book collecting channel, together with BookCravings. Which of course is quite sad and it does feel a bit lonely, haha!] • But you all should definitely check out BookCravings!
