Richard E. Grant’s Very Modern Odyssey

On the first leg of his journey, Richard arrives in Malta – a sun-drenched island nation steeped in epic history and, many believe, the paradise of the goddess Calypso.

Richard E Grant’s adventure brings him to vibrant Sicily, the home of the legendary Cyclops monster, where he cooks with a Duchess and performs in an ancient amphitheatre.

Richard explores the markets and ancient craftsmanship of Djerba, before he heads to Italy’s west coast in search of the enchantress who bewitched Odysseus.

Richard discovers Corfu’s embattled past, enjoys the natural bounties of this emerald island, cooks for Lee Durrell and polishes his archery skills before finally landing on Odysseus’ home: Ithaca.
