Review: Awesome!! - Good quality
Review: The translation for this particular edition is good, and the introduction is better than some others ... - This is a classic and perhaps one of the most enduring and iconic adventure stories of all time. A king, returning home from a long war, fighting his way through monsters, treachery, trickery, and nature, to be with his wife and son again, and then arriving to find his kingdom under attack by suitors, out to wed his assumed widow. This is one of the origins of the Hero archetype, and the embodiment of complete man in Western culture. It arguably contains a complete portrait of the male psyche, and the father-figure, when fathers were still valued and nigh worshiped. The story should be taught in Middle and High school as standard classic fare. The translation for this particular edition is good, and the introduction is better than some others I have seen for this tome.
