Ulysse

Description

"Happy is he who, like Ulysses, has made a beautiful journey"... Everything is there. Life, suddenly, is associated with the idea of travel and adventure. It all comes from there, from Homer's Odyssey, born in Greece. Ulysses is a hero impossible to forget. He embodies cunning, strength, courage, audacity, and fervor, as well as the fate of the cruel warrior. But, made of the blood of the gods, Ulysses also experiences extraordinary adventures: he fights giants, tames the seas, resists enchantments, descends to the land of the dead... and only finds happiness with those he loves and who have remained faithful to him, with his sweet Penelope, Eumaeus, and his dog. Accompanied by a detailed booklet placing Ulysses' journey within Homer's work, this book allows young readers to approach the history of antiquity through one of its most exhilarating tales. It took the breath and flame of an actor like Jean-Pierre Cassel: he is Ulysses. Amidst a deluge of sounds and music (Jean Francois Alexandre), this mythological episode will fill our dreams with the chaos of the elements, the clamor of gods and men.
