John Buchan published his second most famous novel, John MacNab. Three high-flying men—a barrister, a cabinet minister, and a banker—are suffering from boredom. They concoct a plan to cure it. They inform three Scottish estates that they will poach from each two stags and a salmon in a given time. They sign collectively as "John McNab" and await the responses. This novel is a light interlude within the Leithen Stories series—an evocative look at the hunting, shooting, and fishing lifestyle in Highland Scotland.

Excellent!

A very lively story, and well read. I started this after finishing the 39 Steps, and was not disappointed. This one is more of an adventure than a spy thriller, so there’s no doomsday plot, and it has more and better developed characters. Buchan’s obvious love of the Scottish countryside makes it nearly come to life.

Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb Introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

Very heavily abridged

Very heavily abridged, missing many significant passages, although this is not made clear when you purchase. Very disappointed in this audiobook edition of an excellent translation. I assumed after enjoying the audiobook of the Fagles Odyssey that this was part of a series.
