Set in. Ancient Greece, Mediterranean. Published. 1946. Publisher. Bonniers. Return to Ithaca ( Swedish: Strändernas svall, lit. 'The Surge of the Shores') is a 1946 novel by Swedish author Eyvind Johnson. It is based on the story of Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.
Return to Ithaca is a realistic and modernistic retelling of Homer's Odyssey and illustrates the moral dilemma after World War II – does good ends justify the means? The novel emphasises the repetition of history, the illusion of chronological time and the similarity of man's condition under varying circumstances.
