«Reisen mit Homer» is the historical and travel essay by Ernle Bradford, published by dtv in paperback (252 pages, in German).
Ernle Bradford spent seven years sailing the Mediterranean in his own yacht, following the clues of the Odyssey to test whether the places Homer describes are real. He visits islands, coasts and archaeological remains, contrasts the traditional locations with the experience of sailing and proposes new readings of Odysseus's journey.
The book was originally published as «Ulysses Found» in 1963; the German translation by Fritz Güttinger belongs to the dtv Geschichte collection (vol. 30310).
The work appeals to sailors, travelers and lovers of classical antiquity, especially those seeking the real geography of the Homeric Mediterranean.
Ernle Dusgate Selby Bradford was a noted 20th-century British historian specializing in the Mediterranean world and naval topics. He was also an authority on antique jewellery and was the founder editor of the Antique Dealers and Collector's Guide.
