This is a brand new retelling of Homer's 'Odyssey', the story of a clever but unlucky Greek hero who just wants to get home...but fate has other ideas. It is a new title in 'Young Reading Series Three', part of the Usborne Reading Programme. It is aimed at fully confident readers who can manage sub-plots and complex sentence structure but don't have the stamina for standard-length books. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a Principal Lecturer in Education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.This is a brand new retelling of Homer's 'Odyssey', the story of a clever but unlucky Greek hero who just wants to get home...but fate has other ideas.

《The Odyssey》奧德賽帶著他的軍隊和特洛伊戰(zhàn)斗,回程時卻迷失了方向,他們在海上流浪并且依托孤島休整,并在這個過程中遇到了眾多的怪獸及險峻的環(huán)境,而奧德賽成為了最后的幸存者(因為激怒了海王波塞冬)。輾轉(zhuǎn)回國后,在雅典娜女神的幫助下,他終于又重新奪回了政權(quán)成為一國之主。故事改編的精煉,很多復(fù)雜的事件并沒有詳細(xì)敘述,重點在于描寫奧德賽的歷險過程和堅強而堅定求生回國的信念,呈現(xiàn)給小朋友一個英雄形象。適合小學(xué)中低年級閱讀。
