The Greek Myths
Robert Graves's classic retelling of the Greek Myths is definitive, comprehensive and unparalleled - and available now in the Penguin Classics Deluxe series, featuring a new introduction from Rick Riordan (bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and Olympian series).Including many of the greatest stories ever told - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan War and Odysseus's journey home - Robert Graves's superb and comprehensive retelling of the Greek myths for a modern audience has been regarded for over fifty years as the definitive version. With a novelist's skill and a poet's eye, Graves draws on the entire canon of ancient literature, bringing together all the elements of every myth into one epic and unforgettable story. Ideal for the first time reader, it can be read as a single, continuous narrative, while full commentaries, with cross-references, interpretations, variants and explanations, as well as a comprehensive index of names, make it equally valuable as a work of scholarly reference for anyone seeking an authoritative and detailed account of the gods, heroes and extraordinary events that provide the bedrock of Western literature.The result is a classic among classics, a treasure trove of extraordinary tales and a masterful work of literature in its own right.Robert Graves (1895-1985) was a novelist, poet, historian, critic and translator, author of some 140 books, and one of the greatest figures of 20th century British literature. Alongside The Greek Myths, his most famous works include the historical novels I, Claudius and Claudius the God and his First World War memoir Goodbye to All That.

Dat hebben we gehad
E-bookDat hebben we gehad behoort tot de absolute hoogtepunten uit de literatuur over de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Dichter Robert Graves beschrijft zijn persoonlijke ervaringen aan het front, die tekenend zijn voor de Britse soldaten in de Franse en Vlaamse loopgraven. Behalve een verslag van het oneindig bloedvergieten, de wanhoop en de heuse gekte in het slijk van de loopgraven, is het boek een weergaloos tijdsdocument van de jaren na de oorlog, van 1918 tot 1929. Graves, die Engeland in 1927 de rug toekeerde, geeft een uiterst venijnige kritiek op talloze politieke en literaire figuren uit zijn omgeving. Hij neemt niet alleen afscheid van de valse heroïek die de officiële oorlogspropaganda typeert, maar ook van Engeland en alles waar dat voor staat. Dat hebben we gehad, waarin Graves zijn verbeelding van de loopgravenoorlog geeft, groeide uit tot een onomstreden klassieker
