In The Adventures of Ulysses, Charles Lamb re-tells the story of Ulyssess journey from Troy to his own kingdom of Ithaca. The book uses Homers The Odyssey as the basis for the story, but it isnt a direct translation of the Greek classic. The book is considered a modern version of the epic tale when it was published in 1808. In the preface of the book, Lamb said that he made the narration of the story faster so that more readers would be attracted to it.
