The Odyssey. With materials

Few other legendary heroes face as many dangers as Odysseus does on his journeys across the sea. Only through his courage and cunning is he able to survive encounters with creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus or the monsters Scylla and Charybdis. And when Odysseus finally returns home after many years, it is the greedy sons of neighboring princes who seek to take his life. The materials explore the world of the gods, the contradictory hero Odysseus, and the quest for the true essence of the Odyssey. Ulrich Karger has revitalized this piece of world literature for young readers, streamlining it by retelling the 24 lyrical songs in 24 prose chapters, thereby highlighting the thrilling adventure story that lies within. "New knowledge requires understanding of the old," Karger writes in his preface. How true!.
