Samuel Butler Knihy

Román klasické anglické literatury, jehož autorem je Samuel Butler mladší, satiricky zobrazuje anglickou maloburžoasii v druhé polovině 19. století. Hrdinou románu je nepraktický snílek Arnošt Pontifex,syn anglikánského duchovního. Pokrytectví jeho rodičů i sourozenců mu od dětství způsobuje trýzeň, před níž uniká teprve v dospělém věku, kdy se sám stává duchovním. Je však obětí důvěry, s níž přilne nejprve k mladému kaplanovi, pokryteckému podvodníkovi, a poté k děvčeti, z něhož se vyklube ženština úplně zkažená londýnským prostředím. Teprve nenadálé dědictví ho vysvobodí z osidel demoralisované společnosti a činí jej nezávislým mužem, který odloučen od rodiny samotářsky tráví život, oddán hudbě a filosofování...

Velkolepý antický epos Ilias, líčící obléhání Tróje, začíná ve vojsku stiženém morovou nákazou. Výpravnou epickou báseň o šestnácti tisících verších z 8. století př. n. l. dějově sjednocuje téma Achilleovy urážky a jeho hněvu, znovu a znovu však k nám z děje proniká tragicky sžíravý pocit lidské smrtelnosti. Hrdinové podstupují volbu mezi všedností a stálou blízkostí smrti jako běžnou součást každodennosti. Ilias ukazuje i hranice takového postoje: v závěru je Achilleovi dovoleno , aby alespoň na okamžik překročil svůj stín a pocítil společně s otcem muže, jehož v boji zabil, hořkost a nesmyslnost lidského údělu. Tento pocit v lidech ostatně vzbuzují i bohové, jejichž jednání je kruté, lstivé a nevypočitatelné – jako samotný osud. Tři tisíce let, možná déle, se potýkáme stále se stejnými pocity, které kotví v lidské povaze, a tak nás v dnešním bolestně tápajícím světě homérské příběhy oslovují naléhavěji než jindy. Homérovo líčení si v překladu Vladimíra Šrámka zachovává svěžest i po téměř třech tisících letech. Rušný dobrodružný příběh ve volném, rychle plynoucím rytmizovaném verši nechávajícím vyniknout proud hlavního děje; to je Ilias pro moderního člověka.
