A notable achievement.”- Times Literary Supplement “Peter Green’s particular merit lies in achieving a clarity and fluidity that carries the reader forward. “Taken as a whole, this is the best line-for-line translation of the poem I know.”- London Review of Books Praise for Peter Green’s translation of The Iliad: Both Wilson and Green capture the spirit of the Odyssey, but word-for-word, Green also captures a feel for the Homeric language, an experience closer to the original."- Library Journal 22.49 3 Used from 21.59 49 New from 22.49. "Comparisons to Wilson's recent translation are inevitable. eminently suitable for classroom use."- Choice "An amazingly accessible translation for experienced or novice readers, a translation that conveys both the feeling and the sense of the original lyrical Greek. Speeches in his version are vigorous and direct."- London Review of Books "Green brings to the poem the rhetorical directness and historical expertise which worked so well in his translation of The Iliad. The most obvious case of this in the Iliad is Book 10, the longest stretch in the poem that focuses on Odysseus, in which he and Diomedes lead a night-raid that.

Thus, through Susan Calvin's memories we can review the entire history of robotics in Isaac Asimov's universe. Moreover, in order to tie them all together when they were published as a collection, Asimov created a frame story that explained all of these stories as memories of Susan Calvin that are being related to an interviewer. While the short stories as originally written had no single-story thread, these stories did all exist in a common universe and on occasion characters from one story will show up in one of the other stories, such as robopsychologist Susan Calvin or other less important characters like Powell or Donovan. These are all stories related to the concept of robotics, and in particular highly advanced and intelligent robots.
