A Penguin Classic
Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning modern-verse translation. "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy." So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey, which Jasper Griffin in the New York Times Book Review hails as "a distinguished achievement."
If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of an everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.
In the myths and legends retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb introduction and textual commentary provide insightful background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles's translation. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new generation of Homer's students. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features French flaps and deckle-edged paper.

Everyday Jeans With A Great Blend
Size: 32W x 33L, Color: Medium Wash
These are my new daily drivers. I got the Medium Wash in 32W x 33L, and the size and fit are true to size—a modern slim fit that's not too tight. The key is the stretchiness; there's just enough elastane in the material to make sitting, driving, and bending incredibly comfortable, unlike traditional stiff denim.
The softness is immediately noticeable compared to raw denim. For long-term durability, the stretch blend should hold up well with normal wear. The functionality is perfect for casual work environments or weekend outings. Excellent value for a comfortable, stylish jean.

Sturdy, decent quality jeans!
Size: 42W x 30L, Color: Dark Blue Vintage
Excellent jeans.
The fit was exactly as expected, the material is stretchy but sturdy.
The pictures were accurate including the color, and the price was excellent compared to like items.
If you are concerned with branding, there is no external branding on thee jeans, inside the waistband you will "Amazon Essentials" but other than that there is no dicernable marking on the outside of the jeans.
I would buy again and would have no issue in reccomending to a family member or a friend.

Good for the Price
Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Light Wash
I wear a 36 x 30 and prefer the slim, stretch fit of these. Not as lightweight as the Buffalo Brand jeans it have, but price is a factor here. They are soft and the length is perfect.
