Ulysses

Více o knize

The poem explores the theme of adventure and the quest for meaning in life through the character of Ulysses, who yearns for one last journey rather than succumbing to the complacency of old age. Written as a dramatic monologue, it reflects Tennyson's tribute to his late friend Arthur Hallam while drawing inspiration from classical texts, particularly Homer's Odyssey and Dante's Inferno. This work captures the spirit of relentless pursuit and the human desire for experience, making it a poignant reflection on the nature of existence.
