Originally published in 1890, The World's Desire follows a
wandering man's odyssey as he discovers the traumatic fate of his
loved ones and native land. He is forced to embark on a new
adventure led by the old gods. The story centers the fabled hero of
Ithaca, Odysseus, as he returns from his latest trek. Instead of
finding his wife and son, he's blindsided by a natural disaster
including a deadly plague. His former home is in shambles and his
wife Penelope is a casualty. Odysseus is overcome by grief and
inspired to reconnect with his old love, Helen of Troy. Set in
Ancient Egypt, Odysseus becomes embroiled in the local politics and
personal relationships of its most powerful people. The World's
Desire is a vibrant adventure fantasy inspired by classic Greek
mythology. Co-written by H. Rider Haggard and Andrew Lang, it
delivers a high-stakes tale of tragedy and triumph. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The World's Desire is both modern and readable.
