Assim como todo mundo, os contos de fadas gostam de mandar e receber cartas. João, por exemplo, mal tem tempo de agradecer o gigante pelas ótimas férias que sua galinha de ovos de ouro lhe proporcionou. Cachinhos Dourados aproveita para se desculpar com a família Urso por ter causado confusão na casa. E o que seria da bruxa sem o catálogo de ofertas do Empório da Bruxaria, que esse mês oferece uma promoção especial de mistura para torta Menino Fofo? Por isso, quando o carteiro chega é sempre uma festa, e todo mundo o convida para entrar. Mas às vezes - especialmente em caso de Lobo Mau - ele prefere recusar o chazinho e dar no pé o mais rápido possível. O livro, que é todo contado em rimas, vem cheio de cartas de verdade, postais, livrinhos e convites, com envelope e tudo.

The earliest and greatest works of Greek literature - The Iliad and The Odyssey, have been attributed since antiquity to the poet Homer. This concise book is an introduction to the poet and his two great epics. Assuming no prior knowledge of Greek, the author supplies all the background information necessary to understand the poems. The book presents an overview of the Homeric question - considering the authorship, composition and transmission of the poems. It provides the historical background to the epics, literary readings of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and an analysis of the poet''s plotting, narrative technique, and characterization. The author uses comparisons between the two poems to illustrate Homeric poetics. A final section reviews the important secondary literature on Homer and offers a guide to further reading. Throughout the author makes use of his own original research, especially on the relations between Greek alphabetic writing and the origins of Greek literature.
