Recensione
"Wolf's brilliant novel is a mirror reflecting all the hate and venality perpetuated by our ancestors and ourselves, a maddening yet cathartic revelation."--Booklist
"A real flesh-and-blood retelling that should appeal to literate readers everywhere."
--Library Journal
"Although we know the myth, Wolf surprises us with her original conclusion to what becomes, in her hands, essentially a political allegory, one that still holds relevance today."
--Publishers Weekly

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Medea is among the most notorious women in the canon of Greek tragedy: a woman scorned who sacrifices her own children to her jealous rage. In her gripping new novel, Christa Wolf expands this myth, revealing a fiercely independent woman ensnared in a brutal political battle. Medea, driven by her conscience to leave her corrupt homeland, arrives in Corinth with her husband, the hero Jason. He is welcomed, but she is branded the outsider--and then she discovers the appalling secret behind the king's claim to power. Unwilling to ignore the horrifying truth about the state, she becomes a threat to the king and his ruthless advisors. Then abandoned by Jason and made a public scapegoat, she is reviled as a witch and a murderess. Long a sharp-eyed political observer, Christa Wolf transforms this ancient tale into a startlingly relevant commentary on our times. Possessed of the enduring truths so treasured in the classics, and yet with a thoroughly contemporary spin, her Medea is a stunningly perceptive and probingly honest work of fiction.
