Miguel De Cervantes (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)
Credited with having written one of the first "novels", Cerventes' masterwork Don Quixote continues to inspire and was recently released in a new translation.
This translation provides an accurate text of the Iliad in a modern English poetic form. It has been designed, first and foremost for people who are reading Homer’s Iliad for the first time. The book is accompanied by a glossary, maps and other study aids intended to help ensure that one’s initial venture into the world of the Iliad is a fruitful one. Composed between 800 and 700 BC and telling the story of a war which took place over 3000 years ago, the Iliad is a true classic, its beauty rivaled only by its longevity.
Iris Murdoch's first novel is set in a part of London where struggling writers rub shoulders with successful bookles, and film stariets with frantic philosophers. Its hero, Jake Donaghue, is a drifting, clever, likeable young man, who makes a living out of translation work and sponging off his friends. However, a meeting with Anna, an old flame, leads him into a series of fantastic adventures.
