The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. Rendered here into English Prose and Translated by Samuel Butler. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the first. It is believed to have been composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The Odyssey is the story of survival and reconciliation following the ten-year battle with Troy. Where Achilles was defined by warrior brutality, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, is defined by his intelligence and wit. This epic poem follows Odysseus on his adventures as he struggles—against the threats of sea monsters and the temptation of the sirens’ song—to be reunited with his son Telemachus, his faithful, clever queen Penelope, and their kingdom.

After almost a hundred years of brutal colonial rule, the French lost control of North Vietnam after they were defeated at Dienbienfu in 1954. Fearing a communist push to control all of Indochina the U.S. sent military advisors to help train the South Vietnamese army. This is the genesis of the Vietnam War. This novel is the epic story of that monumental struggle and Dave Rockwood’s ten year odyssey. He has a good job, or so he thought, a beautiful wife and an infant son. Everything is perfect or so it seems. Through his work, he meets and bonds with a major in the U.S. army who has recently returned from overseas. The major tells Dave of the exciting things that are going on in Vietnam. Dave is fascinated with the major’s stories. The major tells Dave of a civilian program that is recruiting interpreters for overseas duty and will train the applicants. The major can set up an interview if Dave is interested. Dave’s job had recently taken a turn for the worse and he jumps at the chance, certain that his wife, Janette, will support him in his new career. He is accepted into the program. Janette is livid when he tells her what he has done. Because of unforeseen circumstances, it is too late for Dave to reconsider his options and must at least stay with his new job on a temporary basis. Dave finds himself preparing to land in Saigon, his marriage in a shambles and has no idea of what he has gotten himself into. The odyssey begins. The Emerald Odyssey is the story of the Vietnam War and much more. It is a story of adventure, love, romance, intrigue, betrayal, hatred, redemption, surprises and humor. Come along on this odyssey if you are up to it. It will be a memorable experience. [mehr]

If Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading Sundara Kãnda or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of Sundara Kãnda to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds. Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike. Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, it was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.” [mehr]

The Goddess Pallas has already come down to Ithaca and stands among the suitors. She has taken the form of Mentes, the King of a neighboring tribe; she is in disguise as she usually is when she appears on earth. Who will recognize her? Not the suitors; they can see no God in their condition, least of all, the Goddess of Wisdom. "Telemachus was much the first to observe her;" why just he? The fact is he was ready to see her, and not only to see her, but to hear what she had to say. [mehr]
