Cassandra - Christa Wolf

Brand: Daunt Books   |   Status: Còn hàng

"A priestess, a defeated world power, the arrogance of victors in the world of classical Greece - how can all that speak to us today? Combine those features with the frustration of a woman being right but routinely ignored, and you have a great novel. Wolff adds to the wonderful experience through her essays, well worth reading. She is little known in the US, but should have a great audience among young women and fans of well-designed plots." - Amazon Customer Reviews

Cassandra, daughter of the King of Troy, is endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated never to be believed. After ten years of war, Troy has fallen to the Greeks, and Cassandra is now a prisoner, shackled up outside the gates of Agamemnon’s Mycenae. Through memories of her childhood and reflections on the long years of conflict, Cassandra pieces together the fall of her city. From a woman living in an age of heroes, here is the untold personal story overshadowed by the battlefield triumphs of Achilles and Hector.

This stunning reimagining of the Trojan War is a rich and vivid portrayal of the great tragedy that continues to echo throughout history.
