Johnson E. Priboj i berega

Author Johnson E.
Title Priboj i berega
Description “I wanted to create an image of a modern person who is faced with the need to use violence to prevent more violence,” wrote 1974 Nobel Prize laureate, Swedish novelist Eyvind Johnson, about the novel Return to Ithaca. The plot of the book is based on Homer's "Odyssey", but Odysseus, Penelope, Telemachus, familiar to everyone from childhood, are completely devoid of a heroic halo. The hero of the Trojan War, Odysseus, a tired, wounded veteran, returns home, where no one is waiting for him and no one is happy to see him. Honor and loyalty seem to be obsolete anachronisms. And Odysseus, who vowed never to kill again, takes up arms again. Translation: Juliana Yakhnina.
