Das älteste Werk der abendländischen Literatur, das die Endphase des zehnjährigen Kampfes um Troja schildert - neu zu entdecken in dieser Lesung von Rolf Boysen aus dem Residenztheater in München.

Homers "Odyssee" - Ein Weltgedicht: Im späten 8. Jahrhundert niedergeschrieben, gehört es zu den ältesten und einflussreichsten Werken der abendländischen Literatur. Das Versepos erzählt die Irrfahrten des griechischen Helden Odysseus, der um Troja gekämpft hat und durch den Fluch des Poseidon an der Rückkehr nach Ithaka gehindert wird. Es ist die Geschichte einer Heimkehr, die Geschichte eines Mannes, der trotz ständiger Bedrohungen und Verlockungen sein Ziel nicht aus den Augen verliert. Und es ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die zwanzig Jahre auf ihren Mann warten muss.

She was a year older than me and a lot stronger and we were wrestling and she held me down.... All of a sudden it seemed there was something about girls that wasn’t all bad.

Afterward, when I was a little older, if you’d asked me what the surprise was like, I’d have said it was about like getting hit by a train.

In the luminous world of Att’lah, creation itself is fracturing. The ancient Watchers—beings of light once sworn to protect the realm—have turned on their children, leaving the Keepers to face the rising tide of chaos alone. When Arra, daughter of a Watcher, witnesses the fall of her world, she must uncover the truth hidden beneath the golden cities and shattered mountains. Haunted by visions of what once was—and what may yet return—Arra ventures into the heart of the dying land to confront gods, monsters, and the echo of a friendship strong enough to ignite the heavens.
