Memoirs of a Bitch. Francesca Petrizzo462 руб
Nineteen-year-old Italian-born Oxford classics student Petrizzo puts this to rights by giving a voice to the face that launched a thousand ships. That Helen of Troy is a shadowy figure in Homer’s Iliad, the story of the decade-long Trojan War, is surprising to a reader as she was the one who started it all. Translated from the Italian, the novel has a mythic intensity that demands reading at a sitting. A beautiful, feisty young woman, Helen navigates her way through a series of affairs that is a roll-call of Homeric heroes - Diomedes, Achilles, Paris - before finally finding true love in the doomed city’s great champion, Hector. 2011. Those not put off by the wholly inappropriate trashy cover will be rewarded by a compelling take on one of the world’s great tales. |
