This enduring text from one of historys greatest warriors and leaders has been compared to St. Augustines Confessions for its timelessness, clarity, and candor. These writings, composed between 161 and 180 CE, set forth Aureliuss Stoic philosophy and stress the importance of acting in a way that is moral and just rather than self-indulgent.

While Homers existence as a historical person is still a topic of debate, the writings attributed to the name have made their mark not only on Greek history and literature, but upon western civilization itself. Homers epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, laid the foundation upon which Ancient Greece developed not only its culture, but its societal values, religious beliefs, and practice of warfare as well.This publication features the Samuel Butler translation, and while it strays from the poetic style reproduced by more well known translators like Robert Fagles and Robert Fitzgerald, the vision of the epics as if they were prose found in modern novels take their best form under Butlers most capable hand.

"Nesta obra delicada, corações, girassóis e constelações vão e vêm como refrão. É preciso voltar a dizer o que nunca é dito o suficiente: amor, mil vezes, enquanto houver existência. Poemas orgânicos

No sin temor pongo en tus manos esta versión en prosa del inmortal poema homérico compuesto hace treinta siglos y no superado aún por otro alguno; epopeya sin par y cuadro fiel de los orígenes históricos de aquella cultura helenica que tanto influyo en la romana, y mas tarde, ya directamente, ya por medio de esta ultima, en la de casi todos los pueblos civilizados.Sabido es que la Iliada tiene por asunto un episodio de la guerra de Troya, ocurrido en el noveno año de la misma ; y que se atribuye a Homero, el padre de la poesia, el celebre aedo que recorria la Grecia cantando al son de la citara sus propias composiciones. No es posible hablar en estas pocas lineas de la llamada cuestion homerica, ni resumir lo que han dicho los criticos sobre la existencia y la patria de Homero, las obras que compuso y el estado en que han llegado hasta nosotros. Por tanto, solo manifestare las razones que me impulsaron a hacer esta version literal del mas famoso de sus poemas.

Así como la Ilíada presenta la Grecia heroica en su lucha con los habitantes de la Tróade, la Odisea describe la época de paz, de tranquilidad y de bienandanza que siguió á la terminación de la guerra, relatando un drama domestico y una serie de aventuras fantasticas y maravillosas; y ambas epopeyas reunidas forman el panorama mas acabado, el eco mas fiel de los primeros tiempos historicos de la raza griega y contienen tales ejemplos de heroismo, de amor patrio, de fidelidad conyugal, de respeto a los ancianos, de buen acogimiento al peregrino, de amistad, etc., que con razon ha podido decirse que toda la poesia de Homero es un elogio de la virtud, salvo lo puramente accesorio.Ya noto Aristoteles cuan sencillo es el asunto de la Odisea: la vuelta de Ulises a su patria, despues de peregrinar mucho tiempo y de luchar con las tempestades a causa del odio que le profesa Neptuno (esta larga ausencia del heroe motiva el viaje que hace Telemaco a Pilos y a Esparta), y la venganza que toma de los que se han establecido en su casa, pretenden casarse con Penelope e intentan matar a Telemaco. Mas en la narracion no sigue el poeta el orden cronologico, como en la Iliada, sino que in medias res, non secus ac notas, auditorem rapit, poniendo en boca del protagonista cuanto ocurriera desde que Ulises y los suyos se embarcaron en Troya hasta que el heroe llego a la isla de Calipso, que es precisamente la parte mas extraordinaria de sus aventuras.

Los sonámbulos, Libro III: Huguenau o el realismo (1932) cierra la trilogía de Hermann Broch, situándose en 1918, durante el colapso del Imperio Alemán al final de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El protagonista es Wilhelm Huguenau, un oportunista y hombre de negocios sin escrupulos, cuya unica guia es el interes propio. A diferencia de Pasenow y Esch, que aun luchan con tensiones morales y contradicciones, Huguenau encarna la total perdida de valores y el predominio del pragmatismo absoluto.Su figura se presenta como la culminacion del proceso de desintegracion espiritual iniciado en los dos libros anteriores. Huguenau carece de todo idealismo: es frio, calculador y esta dispuesto a manipular y traicionar a cualquiera para lograr beneficios materiales. Su "realismo" no es el de una vision equilibrada del mundo, sino el de una adaptacion brutal y deshumanizada, que refleja el triunfo de la indiferencia moral en un tiempo de crisis.La narracion combina episodios de la vida de Huguenau con ensayos intercalados que analizan el derrumbe de los sistemas de valores europeos y la incapacidad de la sociedad para mantener una etica comun. Asi, Broch no solo construye un retrato individual, sino que ofrece una radiografia cultural de un continente que, tras perder su fundamento espiritual, se hunde en la violencia y el vacio.Hermann Broch (18861951) fue un novelista y ensayista austriaco que, con Los sonambulos, elaboro una de las reflexiones mas incisivas sobre la crisis de la modernidad. La trilogia Pasenow o el romanticismo, Esch o la anarquia y Huguenau o el realismo muestra como, a lo largo de tres decadas, Europa paso de los restos del idealismo a la anarquia interior y finalmente al pragmatismo sin alma. Su obra influyo en generaciones posteriores de escritores y pensadores por su capacidad de unir narrativa, filosofia y analisis cultural.
