內容簡介

內容簡介 現已改編為由克里斯多福·諾蘭執導的全新重大電影。 「這或許是迄今為止最好的《奧德賽》譯本。」——伊迪絲·霍爾（Edith Hall），《電訊報》（Telegraph）年度選書「歷史上最偉大的冒險故事，由美國當代最偉大的古典學家重新呈現在我們面前——這是一部流暢、迅捷、令人屏息且極其矚目的傑作。」——李·查德（Lee Child）暢銷作家兼古典學家丹尼爾·門德爾松憑藉其譯筆的《奧德賽》，創造了一部影響深遠的全新力作，深受古典學家與詩人們的一致讚譽——此一譯本足以與 E. V. Rieu 和 Robert Fagles 的譯作並肩立足。門德爾松捨棄了近期許多譯本所採用的簡化與現代化手法，巧妙地重現了這部史詩的公式化特質——包括格律、跨行連續、頭韻與疊韻——並藉此恢復了荷馬傑作中那份古樸的壯麗感。他那寬廣的六音步詩行比其他近期譯本更接近原著，使他得以在不犧牲原作豐富度與細微層次的情況下，逐行捕捉荷馬的每一句詩。其成果是英語世界中最豐富、最精準且最具音樂性的《奧德賽》，它在充分傳達口傳詩學的同時，也生動地展現了扣人心弦的冒險、深刻的人性洞察，以及強大的主題，正是這些元素讓荷馬的作品在創作二十八個世紀後依然能引起共鳴。在詳盡的導言以及目前最全面的注釋與評析支持下，門德爾松的《奧德賽》勢將成為這部壯麗、令人無盡享受的傑作之權威英語版本。入圍 2026 年英希聯盟倫西曼獎A New Translation by Daniel MendelsohnNOW A MAJOR NEW FILM DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet' Edith Hall, Telegraph, Books of the Year'History's greatest adventure story brought to us anew by America's greatest living classicist – this is fast, fluent, thrilling, and a hugely impressive accomplishment' Lee ChildWith his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike – a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities – meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance – and in so doing restores to Homer’s master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer’s verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer’s work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2026
