Homer, Dante and Cooper are one search away. You have heard their names before, and their ideas are still all around us. But have you really ever sat down and learned from them?
A literary work survives three thousand years because it keeps answering something in us that does not change. Timeless exists to put those works back in readers hands in editions that do them justice: translations that have proved their value over time, the original language on the facing page, and an introduction, notes and glossary that help you stay immersed in the story.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
THE LIBRARY SO FAR
William Cullen Bryant's 1871 verse translation, the first sustained American verse rendering of the poem, with the ancient Greek on the facing page.
Cooper's revised text of 1850, annotated, with a companion booklet carrying Bougainville's diary from August 1757.
Longfellow's translation beside Dante's original Italian, with notes from four landmark translations and a foreword by T. S. Eliot.
Proof and curation
Every title is chosen for its significance in the history of storytelling. The curation decides the order of arrival too, connecting authors and periods that studied the same problem, so the shelf grows in range instead of repeating itself.
There is one criterion for entry: the work must have shaped how we tell stories, and it must reward a second reading.
