While sorting through some of my books to donate, I found Ulysses Found. This book was one of simply gobs of volumes that I’d pulled from a book drop when our local public school was doing a purge of older works. I know that, at some point several years ago, I had read this book, but I could neither remember anything about the book nor why it was in the Donation Pile in the first place.
Ernle Bradford was a British author who happened to have a lot of experience sailing the Mediterranean. His reason for writing the book in the first place was that he seemed to “recognize” islands and coastlines, connecting his travels to the so-called mythological places in Homer’s Odyssey. From chapter to chapter, he traces the epic journey through real-life geography.
