      Epos o trojské válce, zobrazující ve 24 zpěvech dobrodružství, válečné i milostné příběhy Agamemmona, Achillea, Odyssea, Parida, Heleny, Hektora aj. i svět olympských bohů, vychází v novém, moderním překladu. Na obálce barevná reprodukce řeckého talíře zdobeného malířem Epiktétem.Obsah: Příčinou války byl únos krásné Heleny, manželky spartského krále Meneláa, synem trojského krále Priama, kralevicem Paridem. Meneláos se svým bratrem Agamemnonem zorganizoval odvetné tažení řeckých kmenů proti Tróji. Epos líčí události posledního, desátého roku války, které vyjadřují hněv Achilleův. Řek Achilleus, jemuž je předurčena velká sláva a blízká smrt, se odmítá zúčastnit dalších bojů, neboť Agamemnon mu odňal ukořistěnou otrokyni Bríseovnu. Uražený Achilles půjčí svou zbroj příteli Patroklovi, ten je však zabit trojským hrdinou Hektorem. V souboji Meneláa s únoscem Paridem Paris sice umírá, nakonec je však zachráněn bohyní Afroditou. Vyvrcholením eposu je vylíčení souboje Achillea, mstícího smrt přítele Patrokla, s Hektorem, který končí Achilleovým vítězstvím a potupou zabitého Hektora, vláčeného kolem trojských hradeb a nakonec vydaného králi Priamovi. 01-083-80

      The Natural History of Selborne (1789) is the distillation of a lifetime of observing nature, and ranges far beyond White's immediate neighbourhood noted in the title. Written during a turbulent time in world history, it is a celebration of the endeavours of both human beings and animals to survive. White's main aims were to induce readers to pay more attention to the wonders around them, and to advance their knowledge of the variety of life: his success has made this book a classic, and has made his name one of the most revered among British naturalists.
