My second purpose is to make this wise old king of the island of Ithaca the greatest of all explorers and discoverers." ***The theme of this most remarkable novel is suggested by the Homeric poems; for the story concerns the further adventures of the wanderer, unchronicled by Homer, which follow his return from the siege of Troy. Odysseus, ever restless for new experience, sails westward. He sees and finds the mythical city and continent of Atlantis, and then sails on to set foot upon the shores of the New World.' (Quote from inside front of dustjacket blurb) ***An uncommon J C Powys first edition, especially in the complete dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc., Books<
