Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, Library Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, and NewsdayA Kirkus Best Memoir of 2017
Shortlisted for the 2017 Baillie Gifford Prize From award-winning memoirist and critic, and bestselling author of The Lost: a deeply moving tale of a father and son's transformative journey in reading--and reliving--Homer's epic masterpiece. When eighty-one-year-old Jay Mendelsohn decides to enroll in the undergraduate Odyssey seminar his son teaches at Bard College, the two find themselves on an adventure as profoundly emotional as it is intellectual. For Jay, a retired research scientist who sees the world through a mathematician's unforgiving eyes, this return to the classroom is his "one last chance" to learn the great literature he'd neglected in his youth--and, even more, a final opportunity to more fully understand his son, a writer and classicist. But through the sometimes uncomfortable months that the two men explore Homer's great work together--first in the classroom, where Jay persistently challenges his son's interpretations, and then during a surprise-filled Mediterranean journey retracing Odysseus's famous voyages--it becomes clear that Daniel has much to learn, too: Jay's responses to both the text and the travels gradually uncover long-buried secrets that allow the son to understand his difficult father at last. As this intricately woven memoir builds to its wrenching climax, Mendelsohn's narrative comes to echo the Odyssey itself, with its timeless themes of deception and recognition, marriage and children, the pleasures of travel and the meaning of home. Rich with literary and emotional insight, An Odyssey is a renowned author-scholar's most triumphant entwining yet of personal narrative and literary exploration.

Effective!
Works so well! Using on face, for crows feet, 11 lines, forehead and especially under eyes. It is reducing pores, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving glowing skin. Also using on elbows, wrinkled hands, and an old scar on my foot. My hands are plumping up and looking more youthful. The dark spots, discoloration and scar are fading and I’m sure will be fine with continuing use.
A word of caution though - don’t use on eyelids because it will break off, thin out and damage eyelashes.
I found that out the hard way and am now using lash serum to grow my once naturally long and healthy eyelashes back. They became half the length, much thinner and brittle.
But skin is looking good and folks are starting to comment! Only use around the orbital bone and avoid the lash lines!

Ladies! Get this!! Especially if you're beginning to get wrinkles!
Im new to serums. Im 43 with problem skin, acne scars, and early signs of aging. I did a lot of research on what vitamins my skin is missing at this age and with my health issues. Everything pointed to topical retinoids and niacin. I am an absolute skeptic when it comes to the skin claims. I figured the price is right for something I can try for the first time ever. First off: the bottle is huge. Its simple and well packaged. It doesn't have any weird scent. Its yellowish but so are b vitamins so 🤷. Second: i put this on after showering and patting dry. Its definitely something to apply in the morning as it leaves your skin feeling very dewy. I rub in all over my neck and face, really working it into my crows feet and frown lines.
Third: you will have glass skin alone with this but you should still apply a sunscreen.
In about 3 weeks ive noticed 1 how soft and supple my skin is, how much my skin literally glows, my skin tone is more even, my acne has almost completely cleared. 1 month later of using 4 pumps daily and I still have over half the bottle left. Im sold. This is a game changer in my over 40 skin routine.

Excellent beauty product for mature skin
I have gotten at least four or five of my friends to use this product. It is by far one of the best serums that I’ve used. I think the most noticeable difference is the firming and plumping of my skin and the reduction of fine lines and large pores, especially on my forehead. I will definitely continue to use this. Once a day at bedtime seems to be enough and plenty and for the price it’s a large bottle and it seems to last a long time. It’s a great deal.

Definitely give it a try!
This product is fantastic! The bottle is huge, and even with twice-daily use (two pumps each time, enough to cover my face, neck, and chest), it lasted me an impressive eight months. I just ordered my second bottle.
The retinal formula is incredibly gentle and is the only retinal product I’ve tried that doesn’t irritate my highly sensitive skin. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin looking smooth, plump, and healthy. I highly recommend it!

Soft, Hydrating, and Long-Lasting Moisture – Great Everyday Body Wash
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this Dove Body Wash Deep Moisture. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated, almost like I used lotion right after showering. The “24hr moisture” claim actually feels pretty accurate because my skin doesn’t dry out like it does with other body washes.
It lathers nicely, smells clean and not too strong, and I also like that it’s made with no sulfates or parabens. The bottle is a good size (30.6 oz) so it lasts a while too.
Overall, it’s a really solid everyday body wash and one of the best I’ve used for keeping my skin smooth and moisturized.
