Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - He woke on the morning of the reckoning in his own house, in the body of a beggar, with the bow waiting in the storeroom and the suitors sleeping in the hall.The Reckoning is the fourth and final book in the Return to Ithaca series - the day twenty years concluded. Odysseus disguised as a beggar in his own palace, watching, counting, planning. The reunion with Telemachus in Eumaeus's hut. Argos the dog, ancient and dying, lifting his head one final time. Penelope bringing the bow to the hall. The suitors failing. The stringing. The arrow through the axes. The fighting. And then, at last: the test of the bed, the night of the telling, the reunion with Laertes on the farm, the peace imposed on the families of the dead.And the morning after. The ordinary morning on the shore of his own island, with his wife in the palace above him and his son and his kingdom and the specific and particular life he had been trying to get back to for twenty years.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - He tried to avoid it. He yoked an ox and a donkey together and plowed his fields with salt, pretending madness to escape the war that had nothing to do with him. Then Palamedes placed his infant son in front of the plow, and Odysseus swerved, and everything was decided.The War is the first book in the Return to Ithaca series - a four-part literary retelling of the most celebrated journey in Western literature, told entirely from the interior of the man making it. Before Odysseus could come home, he had to survive ten years at Troy: the politics of the Greek camp, the impossible relationship with Achilles, the embassy that failed, the fabricated evidence against Palamedes, the wooden horse, the night the city burned.This is not the heroic tradition's clean and celebrated version of the war. It is the war from inside the mind of its most intelligent participant - a man who saw everything clearly, who made choices he could not entirely justify, and who sailed from Troy's burning shore carrying twenty years' worth of things he was going to have to live with.The journey home begins here.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. He washed up on Calypso's shore with nothing - no ships, no men, no way home. And he stayed for seven years.The Island is the third book in the Return to Ithaca series - the long stillness at the center of the twenty years, and everything happening on either side of it. Calypso's island, where a goddess offered immortality and he refused it every morning, sitting on the shore looking toward Ithaca. Phaeacia, where Nausicaa found him on the beach and did not run. The feast in Alcinous's hall, where the blind bard sang of Troy and Odysseus wept and finally told the whole story from beginning to end. And Ithaca itself, where Penelope was weaving and unweaving, where Telemachus was growing up without a father, where the suitors had moved into the palace and begun consuming everything.The journey was almost over. The reckoning was close.Back Cover Text"After everything the sea had taken from him, he washed up on Phaeacia with nothing but his life and his name and the story he was carrying."For seven years, Odysseus sat on the same shore every morning and looked toward a horizon that held nothing but distance. Calypso had offered him immortality. He had refused it. He was waiting for something he couldn't force and couldn't predict - and then Hermes came with Zeus's message, and Calypso wept, and he built a raft.I. Ioakim's The Island moves between Calypso's remote shore, the extraordinary hospitality of the Phaeacians, and the palace at Ithaca where Penelope was holding what she could hold and Telemachus was becoming the man his father had not been present to watch him become. Three perspectives on the same long wait. Three people who did not know how close the end of waiting was.Book Three of the Return to Ithaca series. This item is printed on demand.
