eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), Auflage, Published in 1954, John Cowper Powys called this novel, a &apos;long romance about Odysseus in his extreme old age, hoisting sail once more from Ithaca&apos;. As usual there is a large cast of human characters but Powys also gives life and speech to inanimates such as a stone pillar, a wooden club,and an olive shoot. The descent to the drowned world of Atlantis towards the end of the novel is memorably described, indeed, Powys himself called it &apos;the best part of the book&apos;. Many of Powys&apos;s themes, such as the benefits of matriarchy, the wickedness of priests and the evils of modern science which condones vivisection are given full rein in this odd but compelling work.
