Odyssey

Setting sail, hero Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife, Penelope, and of teaching his son, Telemachus, a warrior's ways. However, gods toy with the desires of mortals. Angered by this upstart's presumption, Poseidon - god of the ocean realms - curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years. Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man's endurance.
Yet he is no mere mortal - and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his destiny...

A tale of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope, Stephen Fry's Odyssey weaves together the final threads of the tapestry begun in the worldwide bestseller Mythos. It is a story for the ages - and all ages.
