古代伟大的文学里程碑，由我们这个时代知名的翻译家精心呈现

当艾米莉·威尔逊翻译的《奥德赛》于 2017 年问世时——以“新鲜、朴实和精简”的当代习语揭示了这首古诗（玛德琳·米勒，《华盛顿邮报》）——评论家称赞它是“一个启示”（苏珊·奇拉，《纽约时报》）和“一个文化里程碑”（夏洛特·希金斯，《卫报》），它将永远改变荷马在英语中的阅读方式。现在，威尔逊带着同样具有启示性的荷马另一部伟大史诗的翻译回归——有史以来受尊敬的战争诗。

《伊利亚特》充满了武器的喧嚣、胜利者的狂吼、失败者的愤怒和悲伤以及垂死之人的痛苦哭喊。它也歌颂了世界的崇高伟大——大自然的壮丽之美和神灵的宏伟计划超出了凡人的理解范围。在威尔逊的手中，这个激动人心、神奇而又常常令人恐惧的故事现在以与其传奇战争场景相称的速度飞奔，以清晰而有共鸣的语言唤起了诗歌的深沉悲情，并揭示了明显真实甚至“复杂”的人物——既有人类也有神灵。

威尔逊的《伊利亚特》是十年来对古代美丽、情感复杂的诗歌的深入研究的高峰之作，现在为我们这一代人提供了一部完整的荷马史诗。

“威尔逊的译本如血河般奔腾，充斥着战争的喧嚣声，迸发出战士们对战斗的渴望”——夏洛特·希金斯，《卫报》

“艾米莉·威尔逊对希腊史诗的出色演绎，回荡着弥尔顿的回声”——《每日电讯报》

“在威尔逊的手中，这首诗充满了青铜的碰撞声、马蹄的轰鸣声和野蛮的战争呐喊声。她对抑扬格五音步的运用，赋予了它不可抗拒的节奏和韵律。它像音乐一样流动——令人振奋、悲惨、美丽和激动人心”——詹妮弗·圣特，《i》报

The greatest literary landmark of antiquity masterfully rendered by the most celebrated translator of our time

When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, The Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, The New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time.

The Iliad roars with the clamour of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine.

The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson’s Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.

"Wilson’s translation runs as swift as a bloody river, teems with the clattering sounds of war, bursts with the warriors’ hunger for battle"―Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian

"Emily Wilson’s superb rendering of the Greek epic resounds with Miltonic echoes"―The Telegraph

"In Wilson's hands, the poem sings with the clash of bronze, the thundering of hooves, the savage holler of war-cries. Her use of iambic pentameter imbues it with irresistible pace and rhythm. It flows like music – exhilarating, tragic, beautiful and stirring"―Jennifer Saint, the i newspaper
