When eighty-one-year-old Jay Mendelsohn decides to enroll in the undergraduate Odyssey seminar his son teaches at Bard College, the two find themselves on an adventure as profoundly emotional as it is intellectual. For Jay, a retired research scientist who sees the world through a mathematician's unforgiving eyes, this return to the classroom is his "one last chance" to learn the great literature he'd neglected in his youth--and, even more, a final opportunity to more fully understand his son, a writer and classicist. But through the sometimes uncomfortable months that the two men explore Homer's great work together--first in the classroom, where Jay persistently challenges his son's interpretations, and then during a surprise-filled Mediterranean journey retracing Odysseus's famous voyages--it becomes clear that Daniel has much to learn, too: Jay's responses to both the text and the travels gradually uncover long-buried secrets that allow the son to understand his difficult father at last. As this intricately woven memoir builds to its wrenching climax, Mendelsohn's narrative comes to echo the Odyssey itself, with its timeless themes of deception and recognition, marriage and children, the pleasures of travel and the meaning of home. Rich with literary and emotional insight, An Odyssey is a renowned author-scholar's most triumphant entwining yet of personal narrative and literary exploration.

內容非常豐富。一定要讀過奧德賽再去讀這本書纔能有共鳴。
評分This is a great book. The fact that the book—which is a reading of The Odyssey—is in itself the Odyssey is brilliant. All the elements and themes from the Homeric work come together before you realize it and when they do, you can only gasp.
評分越讀越喜歡、越讀越感動的書。作者把父子兩代人的成長嵌入史詩經典來體會,文本所凝結的古老智慧與真實人生當下睏境相互映射,無論是對於細讀經典還是對於過好人生都有啓發。書的寫法很獨特,讀書、旅行、追憶有序交織,從文本、空間、時間上求取父子關係的真義,殊途同歸。“the door is the bed”隱喻催人淚下,實在是妙筆。
評分年度最佳閱讀體驗;敘事解構也好,修辭手法也好,主題也好,都是史詩文本與現實的互相映射和完美交織;textuality 和 literature interpretation令人著迷【我也想要這樣的文學老師
