Among the selection is a new (2017) translation of Homer's _The Odyssey_, that very well might end up being the new standard, among English translations, of that classic (read the reviews!). The translator is Emily Wilson.

The price of the Kindle edition during this promo is only $3.99. It appears that Amazon isn't providing, at least at the present time, a "retail price," but they do divulge that the "print price" is $39.95. So, $3.99 seems to be a real bargain.
I was going to buy this from Kobo and price match it, and Kobo was selling it for over $25, but they wouldn't take any of the 3 credit cards I tried, so I ended up getting it at Amazon.
