Description

The fruit of four years' work, Lawrence published his translation of Homer's epic under the pseudonym of T. E. Shaw, after George Bernard Shaw. Reading like a novel, it was described in the New York Herald Tribune as `perhaps the most interesting translation of one of the world's most interesting books', while the Book of the Month Club News called it `one of the notable books of our time'.

About the Author
Bernard Knox is the retired Director of the Center for Hellenistic Studies and one of America's foremost classics scholars. His most recent volume is Essays Ancient and Modern.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
