His Version Of The Odyssey
HAMMERED OUT IN INDIA
Mr. Bruce Rogers, the well- known American printer, who is at present in Britain, can claim the credit of having got Colonel T. E. Lawrence, who has now adopted the name of Aircraftman Shaw, to translate "The Odyssey,"
"The idea," said Mr. Bruce Rogers to a representative of the Observer, "came to me seven years ago, when I first read "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.' 'Shaw seemed to me the very man to do a new translation of the greatest all travel-books. He is I scholar (though he denies it) without any. pedantry, and a traveller who can make his experiences live in print. His 'Saven Pillars' leapt at a bound to the level of that other classic, Doughty's 'Arabia Deserta, and showed me that he could do Homer's great work as a supreme romantic | narrative of adventure. It was the vivid action that I wanted him to bring out.
