Este ebook presenta "La Ilíada" con un sumario dinámico y detallado. La Ilíada es una epopeya griega y el poema más antiguo escrito de la literatura occidental. Se atribuye tradicionalmente a Homero. Narra los acontecimientos ocurridos durante 51 dias en el decimo y ultimo año de la guerra de Troya. El griego Aquiles se enfada con Agamenon, el caudillo de los griegos que habian ido a Troya a rescatar a Helena. Los troyanos ponen en apuros a los griegos, por lo que Patroclo, amigo de Aquiles, sale a luchar y muere a manos del troyano Hector. Aquiles vuelve al campo de batalla para vengar la muerte de su amigo. Mata a Hector y se niega a devolver el cadaver a los troyanos, el anciano rey Priamo suplica a Aquiles y le ofrece un gran botin para poder enterrar a su hijo. Aquiles cede y permite que los troyanos se lleven el cuerpo de Hector. Homero (Siglo IX a.C. - Siglo VIII a.C.) es el literato mas famoso de la epoca arcaica, considerado el autor de dos de las obras mas importantes de la Literatura Universal: la Iliada y la Odisea. Tambien se le atribuyen otras obras, como la Batracomiomaquia, los conocidos como "himnos homericos" y algunos autores le atribuyen el llamado Ciclo Epico al completo, que incluye mas poemas sobre la guerra troyana y varias epopeyas sobre las guerras entre argivos y tebanos y sobre la figura de Edipo.

Written by the great Roman historian Suetonius in the year 121, "The Twelve Caesars" is an extremely important historical document and one of the main sources of knowledge about Roman history. In this magnificent work, which covers the period from the rise to the fall of the Roman Empire, we get to know the intimacy of the life of each of the twelve Caesars: their ancestors, their military campaigns, the events that led them to power and death, as well as the character and personality of each of them. Beyond historical facts, Suetonius managed to portray the human character of the 12 Caesars in an environment characterized by unlimited power, violence, and the debauchery and luxury of the emperors in ancient Rome. It is an exceptional work that deserves to be read.

La tragedia clásica por excelencia.Introducción y traducción de Luis Gil, doctor y profesor emérito de la Universidad ComplutenseEpílogo de Jordi Balló y Xavier Pérez, profesores de la Universidad de Pompeu FabraCuando Edipo, el de los pies hinchados, hijo del rey de Corinto, descubre que hay un secreto en su origen, abandona el hogar y parte en pos de la verdad. El destino, por boca del oraculo de Delfos, le indica cual sera su suerte: matara a su padre y se desposara con su madre. En Tebas hallara a la esfinge y la respuesta a su existencia. Edipo Rey, la tragedia infinita de Sofocles, la reelaboracion dramatica de una de las leyendas mas celebres de la literatura griega, ha fecundado la cultura occidental desde hace veinticinco siglos. En ella se encuentran cuestiones que jamas han perdido vigencia en el espiritu humano: la fatalidad, el tabu, la busqueda de la verdad, la imposibilidad de expiacion.Esta edicion cuenta con la traduccion y el prologo del profesor emerito de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Luis Gil, uno de los mas importantes estudiosos de la literatura clasica griega de nuestro pais.

La Ilíada, que narra el trágico y sangriento desenlace de la guerra de Troya, es quizá el poema épico más importante de la tradición occidentalVersión de Fernando Gutiérrez, escritor y crítico de arteIntroduccion y notas de Pere Guell, experto en filolofia clasicaLa Iliada es el poema mas antiguo de la literatura occidental y esta considerada como una de las grandes obras de nuestra tradicion. Esta epopeya griega, que, como la Odisea, ha sido atribuida a Homero, es un canto al glorioso y tragico desenlace de la guerra de Troya. En la Antiguedad se consideraba que este poema se basaba en la historia real y que los personajes que aparecian en el eran un modelo de comportamiento y heroismo. Los acontecimientos que narra tienen lugar en el transcurso de los ultimos cincuenta y un dias de un conflicto que duro diez largos años, y se desarrollan en torno a la figura del heroe heleno Aquiles, el de los pies ligeros. A lo largo de los mas de quince mil versos de la obra, Homero evoca conceptos tan centrales en la cultura griega antigua como el regreso, la gloria, el respeto, la ira y el destino.La introduccion y las notas que acompañan la traduccion del escritor y traductor Fernando Gutierrez han sido realizadas por el tambien traductor y docente Pere Guell.

La Odisea, junto con la Ilada, es una de las piedras angulares de la cultura occidental, obra del inmortal bardo Homero. El poema narra las aventuras de Odiseo durante su regreso a casa tras la Guerra de Troya, un largo viaje de diez años. Durante el recorrido, la Odisea nos muestra el Mediterrneo plagado de peligros y poblado de seres mitolgicos, todos ellos confabulados para retrasar an ms el viaje de nuestro hroe. Episodios como el del encuentro con los Cclopes y Polifemo, a quien Odiseo engaña con su astucia, con las Sirenas, con la maga Circe que quiso seducir al hroe o la ninfa Calipso son solo una pequeña muestra de todo este mundo nico que la Odisea nos trata de transmitir. Un relato inolvidable que la Biblioteca Luna quiere acercar a sus lectores.
