Have you ever felt like escaping to your own desert island?

Jane Gaskin did exactly that, trading in the family home to begin a new life in the

tropics.

But she soon discovers that Paradise has its secrets.

I'm Alice Levine, and this is the price of Paradise,

the island dream that ends in kidnap, corruption, and murder. Wish you were here. Follow the price of Paradise Now wherever

you listen to podcasts. This is CBS I on the World with John Bachelor.

And I welcome Professor.

Here's John Bachelor.

And I welcome Professor Emily Wilson.

Her new work is the Iliad, a translation in iambic pentameter,

for those of us in the 21st century who do not have the original or any Greek

whatsoever. It's a pleasure to welcome the professor and to thank her for how she

has worked so diligently, not only to present in English all the depths of Greek

language with the nuance, but also to make it easy to read on the page and to hear it read by the extremely

talented and gifted Audrey McDonald in the Audible.com version. I recommend having the book in front of you as you

listen to the reading. Not only will all the pronunciations come through, but

the music, the beat helps a deal to understand the comedy and the tragedy.

Professor, congratulations.

I understand this is a lifetime's work.

You've been at this since you were in high school. It is a pleasure to begin, however, in history.

Where was Troy and how did we come to seeking Troy and Priam's treasure 150 years ago?
