Iliad And Odyssey

De ce livre fondateur - le récit de la colère d'Achille, privé par Agamemnon de sa captive Briséis, et refusant de combattre contre les Troyens - nombre de traductions ont été données. Celle de Frédéric Mugler, restant la plus fidèle possible au texte original, tente de lui rendre aussi sa puissance lyrique et incantatoire : la poésie d'Homère était dite, ou chantée. Or le choix du vers de quatorze pieds, dont la longueur permet - au fil du texte - de restituer l'ampleur du poème tout entier, rend au chant son jaillissement et ses harmoniques secrètes.

L'Iliade (trad. Frédéric Mugler)

L'Iliade

The classic tale of Odysseus's return home in a stunning new translation.
THE ODYSSEY, which tells of Odysseus's long voyage home after the battle of Troy, is one of the defining masterpieces of Western literature.
Populated by one-eyed man-eating giants, beautiful seductive goddesses, and lavishly hospitable kings and queens, it is an extraordinary work of the imagination, the original epic voyage into the unknown that has inspired other writing down through the ages - from ancient poems to modern fiction and films. 
With its consummately modern hero, full of guile and wit, THE ODYSSEY is perfectly suited to our times. 
Thanks to the scholarship and poetic power of the highly acclaimed Stephen Mitchell, this new translation recreates the energy and simplicity, the speed, the grace, and continual thrust and pull of the original, so that THE ODYSSEY's ancient story bursts vividly into new life.

The Odyssey

Muse, dis-moi l'homme inventif, qui erra si longtemps,Lorsqu'il eut renversé les murs de la Sainte Ilion, Qui visita bien des cités, connut bien des usages, Et eut à endurer bien des souffrances sur les mers, Tandis qu'il luttait pour sa vie et le retour des siens.De ce livre fondateur - le récit du retour d'Ulysse à Ithaque après la guerre de Troie - nombre de traductions ont été données.Celle de Frédéric Mugler, restant la plus fidèle possible au texte original, tente de lui rendre aussi sa puissance lyrique et incantatoire : la poésie d'Homère était dite, ou chantée.Or le choix du vers de quatorze pieds, dont la longueur permet - au fil du texte - de restituer l'ampleur du poème tout entier, rend au chant son jaillissement et ses harmoniques secrètes.
