About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents The Odyssey: A Graphic Adaptation of Homer's Epic Tale by Seymour Chwast, read by Brian Bowles, Joe Eyre and Harriet Carmichael.
Design legend Seymour Chwast lends his "diabolically witty, devilishly expressive" style to Homer's ancient classic, now brought to life in Graphic Audio.
Seymour Chwast, an icon of the graphic design world, has delighted audiences with his adaptations of classic tales from Dante to Chaucer. Now he turns to Homer's Odyssey.
Following his victory in the Trojan War, Odysseus is desperate to get home. With help from the powers-that-be on Mount Olympus, he journeys far and wide, facing off against the Cyclops, the Lotus-Eaters, the cannibal Laestrygonians, the Sirens, the monster Scylla (beside the whirlpool Charybdis), Poseidon, Athena, Zeus and more.... Featuring bold black, white, and blue illustrations in Chwast's signature style and imbued with sly humor, The Odyssey brings us a dazzling portrayal of a tale as old as time.
