Eternal Traveler

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Mr. Ody is a charming time-travel experience that transports the Greek hero, Odysseus, to the present time. The sudden appearance of Odysseus, in an overgrown backyard of hiking trails, is the beginning of a wake-up call for Alex and his son, Andre. They become his companions on adventures like those included in the ancient Greek epic, but set against the modern backdrop of the infamous world of Malibu, California. The hero has been plunged into an eternal struggle by his nemesis, the Greek sea-god Poseidon, and in his constant travels for eternity, is propelled from one century to another. This is a completely new twist on the homecoming of this famous mythical hero, Odysseus. The father and eight-year-old son in the story participate in the modern-day adventures of the hero and they have encounters with a present-day witch, a giant similar to the Cyclops, and a mystifying and perilous visit to the Greek Underworld. The sea-god Poseidon does not relinquish his anger toward Odysseus and continues to assault him with new obstacles. The intriguing results capture the fantasy of the three new companions entering into new realms of danger and discovery.
