"Iliaden" er både en af de første og en af de største fortællinger i verdenshistorien. I 24 sange fortæller digtet om den trojanske krig mellem Troja og en lang række af de græske bystater. Det episke digt er smukt og dramatisk skrevet, ligesom de uforglemmelige og legendariske karakterer som Odysseus og Achilleus kommer til live i den spændende historie. Homer er navnet på den græske digter, der siges at have skrevet de to episke værker "Iliaden" og "Odysseen".

Mit Odysseus schuf Homer - wenn es ihn denn tatsächlich gegeben hat - den wohl ersten Superhelden. Sein Epos gilt heute als eines der ältesten und einflussreichsten Werke der abendländischen Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte. Neben der "Iias" ist die "Odyssee" das wohl bekannteste Epos der griechischen Mythologie. Und es ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen, sie zu entdecken. Nach langen Jahren der Belagerung und dem ersehnten Sieg über Troja wollen König Odysseus und seine Gefährten zurück in ihre griechische Heimat reisen.

This narrative of prison life differs from all others that I have seen, in that it is careful to put the best possible construction upon the treatment of Union prisoners by the Confederates, and to state and emphasize kindnesses and courtesies received by us from them. For the accuracy of the facts stated, I am indebted to a diary kept from day to day during the whole of my imprisonment and to the best obtainable records. The exact language of conversations cannot, of course, always be remembered, but I aim always to give correctly the substance.

William Bell Riley (March 22, 1861 - December 5, 1947) was known as "The Grand Old Man of Fundamentalism". Born and educated in Indiana, Riley received his teacher's certificate and, later, graduated from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. He served several Baptist churches in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois before taking the pastorate at the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN, in 1897.

After World War II ended in 1945, the Soviet Union and the United States began a decades-long confrontation that would become known as the Cold War. American foreign policy focused on "containment" - preventing the communist USSR from gaining more ground - and many people looked at the geographical and political implications of this policy. Others, meanwhile, explored American domestic life in that same period. But historian Elaine Tyler May became the first person to bring these seemingly unrelated areas together.

Als der Bergwerksarbeiter seiner Frau ein Ultimatum stellt, muss Elsie lange überlegen. Schließlich ist ein Leben ohne Alligator doch sinnlos. Wie alles hier in Coalwood, West Virginia. Die ganze trostlose Stadt liegt unter einer schwarzen Staubschicht begraben. Und selbst vor ihrer Ehe hat die Große Depression keinen Halt gemacht.

Elsie Lavender y Homer Hickam (el padre del autor) eran compañeros de clase en la secundaria en los campos de carbón de West Virginia, graduándose justo cuando comenzaba la Gran depresión. Cuando Homer pidió le propuso matrimonio, Elsie partió para Orlando donde congenió con un actor bailarín llamado Buddy Ebsen (sí, ese Buddy Ebsen). Pero cuando Buddy se mudó para Nueva York, los sueños de Elsie de una vida con él se hicieron trizas, y eventualmente regresó a los campos de carbón, y se casó con Homer.

"The Iliad" tells the epic story of the war of Troy and its ten-year siege, bloody battles and great heroes. The mighty warrior Achilles, whose mother held him by the heel while immerging him in the river Styx to make him invulnerable, his brave companion Patroclus, kings and gods compete alike for the glory of ancient Greece, which is still resonating today.

The Gods are against him and he faces many obstacles in his path which delay his return for many years. With her husband gone for so long Penelope assumes that he is dead and never to return.
