After The Odyssey: Voyages, Monsters & the Long Way Home
The movie sends us back to Ithaca; these books keep sailing. Begin with Homer, then follow witches, pirates, impossible islands, haunted veterans, migrants, alien oceans, and starships through literature’s oldest irresistible plot: survive the monsters, become a stranger, find the way home.

Cloud Cuckoo Land
Anthony Doerr, 2021, adventure
“A foolish shepherd’s impossible journey survives Constantinople, an Idaho library, and a starship fleeing Earth. Doerr’s real hero is the story itself: fragile cargo carried across catastrophe until it can guide someone home.”
