Odyssey (Omero)

Fabio Visintin is an extraordinary artist, capable in these pages of overturning the Homeric enterprise and entrusting not to words, but to drawings, the most famous travelogue of all time and the complex psychology of its characters: the ambiguous Ulysses and his companions, Polyphemus, the magician Circe, the vengeful gods. For thousands of years, the Odyssey has sung of the noblest traits and moments of the human soul, as well as the most deplorable. The greatness of these dynamic yet solemn panels lies in the power with which they capture adventure and nostalgia, erotic and epic impulse, transforming the extraordinary voyage of Ulysses into a fresco animated by powerful moments of passion and sublime images of liberating grace.
