A bold and spirited reimagining of the myth of Odysseus, The
World's Desire begins with Odysseus utterly alone. His kingdom of
Ithaca is an empty, abandoned wasteland. His beloved wife Penelope
is dead and his patron goddess Athena has forsaken him. The famous
wanderer is without kin and without purpose on an island he no
longer knows. But then Aphrodite visits Odysseus and sends him on a
quest to find the world's desire, the face that launched a thousand
ships: the woman he once knew as Helen of Troy. Armed with his
legendary bow, Odysseus's final journey takes him to a court riven
by murderous factions, ruled by a queen who is haunted by dreams of
Odysseus's face. . .
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
