For too long, readers had to choose an overly simplified version of The Odyssey or a long, academic one. In the first, the heroes lose their sarcastic edge and great characters are pushed to the side for the sake of making the text easy. In the second, the confusing historical context and excessive footnotes make the story difficult if not impossible for students to enjoy. A teacher certified in both English and history will take you on a tour of the full text of The Odyssey, explain the strange quirks of language (why does Penelope find it so delightful that her son sneezes?) and give historical context. More importantly, this text has two modern voices discussing some of the more problematic parts of the text. By having debates centered around the characters' decisions, these modern voices invite the reader to develop his or her own opinions while still understanding how ancient Greeks would have interpreted the myth. This is for anyone who likes mythology or history but who simply couldn't get into The Odyssey. It's also for students who struggle to understand why readers have loved this myth for thousands of years.

Schreiben war schon immer ein wichtiger Teil des Lebens von William Lewis, von professionellen Berichten über Buchbesprechungen bis hin zu Gedichten und Songtexten. Als er er Flash Fiction entdeckte, eröffnete ihm das neue Wege der Kreativität. Er genießt besonders die Knappheit und die Möglichkeiten der Kurzform. Einige seiner Geschichten sind leicht und humorvoll, andere sind düsterer. Die Kooperation mit den Göttinger Künstler:innen, die die Geschichten in diesem Buch illustriert haben, entstand aufgrund der Städtepartnerschaft, die Göttingen und Cheltenham verbindet. Bei einem Partnerschaftsbesuch lin Göttingen in 2019 ernte William Lewis aus Cheltenham Greta Mindermann-Lynen und Christiane Christen kennen, beide Mitglieder der Göttinger Künstlervereinigung Kreis 34. So entstand die Idee, Williams Geschichten in einem illustrierten Buch herauszugeben. Christiane Christen übersetzte die teils sehr skurrilen Geschichten ins Deutsche und leitete sie an die Künstler:innen des Kreis 34 weiter, die sich zu Illustrationen in ganz verschiedenen Stilrichtungen inspirieren ließen. Dank der freundlichen und großzügigen Unterstützung der Städtepartnerschaftsvereine Cheltenhams und Göttingens, der Stadt Cheltenham und der Stadt Göttingen konnte ein schönes Buch mit 13 Geschichten auf Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung und mit 27 Illustrationen gedruckt werden. Dies ist nun schon die zweite Geschichtensammlung, die veröffentlicht wird.

Grimms' Fairy Tales is a collection of German folk tales collected and published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in two volumes in 1812 and 1815. The book contains over 200 stories that have become some of the most famous and enduring fairy tales in Western culture. The collection includes classic stories such as Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Hansel, and Gretel, as well as lesser-known tales like The Golden Bird and The Frog Prince. Many of the stories have become popularized through numerous adaptations, including Disney films. The tales in Grimms' Fairy Tales are often dark and contain elements of violence, cannibalism, and other adult themes. However, they also convey important moral lessons and reflect the cultural values and beliefs of 19th-century Germany. In addition to the tales themselves, the book also includes notes on the origins and sources of each story and commentaries on the stories' cultural significance. The Grimm brothers' work was instrumental in the preservation of German folklore and the development of the modern fairy tale genre.

A perfect and highly readable English prose translation of the Nibelungenlied-an epic poem which first appeared written in in Middle High German around 1100 AD, in which the story of Siegfried the dragon slayer was first told.The epic consists of two parts: first, the story of Siegfried and his wife Kriemhild; and second, of the marriage of Siegfried's widow to King Etzel (Atilla the Hun).The tale weaves through intrigue, adventure, love, death, and revenge, as Siegfried slays the dragon, but is killed by Hagen, who then hides the Nibelung treasure in the Rhine River. Kreimhild is forced to marry Etzel, but takes her revenge . . .The original epic was written in poem format in 2.400 stanzas, divided up into 39 adventures. This English translation has kept to the "adventure" format but reads as a conventional epic, and accurately follows the storyline of all the adventures.The Nibelungenlied later served as the inspiration for Richard Wagner's "The Ring" Cycle.
