Après la guerre de Troie, Ulysse ne retournera pas de sitôt à Ithaque. Héros malmené par les dieux, il erre pendant dix ans de naufrages en catastrophes, jouet de forces qui le dépassent. Il devient ainsi le premier aventurier à explorer les confins du monde pour en rapporter un fabuleux récit. Considérée comme l'un des plus beaux poèmes de l'humanité, l'Odyssée fait partie de ces ouvrages qui ont laissé une empreinte profonde dans la culture occidentale. si bien qu'on peut affirmer, avec Pierre Bergounioux, que "le monde n'est plus le même après qu'on a lu l'Odyssée".
A story about the extraordinary path of the wind in its many guises across the world, as witnessed by a migrating swift.Cassi watches a little swift dive and swoop in the still air. In the rising sun the world seems to be holding its breath. Then a small breeze stirs the leaves in the trees, and as the wind grows bolder, a whiff of danger sends small creatures running for cover. Across the ocean, the wind awakes with a fury, whipping the waves and cresting each one with wild white horses. And further on, around the still eye of a hurricane, clouds are carved into a great spiral, howling with stormy power. All this is witnessed by the swift as it finally comes to nest on the other side of the world, where the great wind has abated. Follow the amazing path of a swift in Kate Greenaway Award–winning illustrator Grahame Baker-Smith's follow-up to The Rhythm of the Rain.
