The devil's in the details when a man is found murdered near Trinity Church in the latest installment of the national bestselling Gaslight Mystery series... The year of 1899 is drawing to a close. Frank and Sarah Malloy are getting ready to celebrate the New Year at Trinity Church when they notice Mr. Pritchard, a relative of their neighbor's, behaving oddly and annoying the other revelers. Frank tries to convince Pritchard to return home with them, but the man refuses and Frank loses him in the crowd. The next morning Sarah and Frank are horrified to learn Pritchard was murdered sometime in the night, his body left on Trinity Place, the side street near the church. The police aren't too interested in the murder, and the family are concerned that the circumstances of the death will reflect badly on Pritchard's reputation. To protect the family from scandal, Nelson asks Frank to investigate. Frank and Sarah delve into Pritchard's past and realize there may have been a deadly side to the dawning of the new century.

Die erste große Abenteuergeschichte des westlichen Kanons, dieses Gedicht erforscht Themen wie Gewalt, die Folgen des Krieges, Reichtum, Macht, Ehe, Familie und die Sehnsucht nach Heimat. Es erzählt von Schiffbruch, Monstern und Magie. In jambischem Pentameter und einer zeitgenössischen Sprache verleiht es dem lebendigen Rhythmus und der Musikalität des Originals Ausdruck. Die Übersetzung hebt die Schönheit und den Zauber des antiken Gedichts hervor und bewahrt gleichzeitig seine Spannung und Dramatik. Unvergessliche Charaktere sind die listige Göttin Athena, die den Helden leitet; Telemachos, der unbeholfene Teenagersohn, der nach Erwachsensein und der Rückkehr seines Vaters strebt; und Penelope, die kluge Frau, die während der Abwesenheit ihres Mannes die Freier abwehrt. Der Held selbst tritt als komplexere Figur auf, mit vielen Verkleidungen und Stimmungen. Eine faszinierende Einführung bietet Einblicke in den Kontext der Bronzezeit, die zentralen Themen des Gedichts, Kontroversen über seine Ursprünge und seinen tiefgreifenden Einfluss. Angereichert mit speziell gezeichneten Karten, einem Ausspracheglossar sowie umfangreichen Anmerkungen und Zusammenfassungen, wird diese Übersetzung von einer neuen Generation von Wissenschaftlern, Studierenden und allgemeinen Lesern geschätzt werden.
