Seymour Chwast, an icon of the graphic design world, has delighted audiences with his adaptations ofThe Divine ComedyandThe Canterbury Tales. Now he turns to Homer'sOdyssey, one of the best-known stories in history. The tale is one that begs for visual interpretation, filled with mythic characters we all know well: the Cyclops, the Lotus-Eaters, the cannibal Laestrygonians, the Sirens, the monster Scylla (beside the whirlpool Charybdis), Poseidon, Athena, and Zeus.... Featuring a bold black, white, and blue interior design throughout, imbued with his own sly humor,The Odysseybrings us a dazzling new vision of one of the epic journeys.

Recenzii

Diabolically witty, devilishly expressive cartoon drawings...an accessible introduction toThe Divine Comedy-- a sort of high-end, WHAM-POW Cliff's Notes.... fiendishly entertaining.
With his signature mix of humor, artistry, and high-level design, he conveys a breathtaking amount of information in clear black and white line drawings...Chwast does a stunning job of telling Dante's story in his own brilliant style.
