Riassunto

A fresh, contemporary adaptation of Sophokles' tragedy from T.S. Eliot Prize-winning poet Anne Carson. When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, Antigone refuses to allow his body to be left unburied beyond the city walls. Defying her uncle who governs, she forges ahead with a funeral alone, placing personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

A marvellous new translation by Anne Carson that crackles with canny colloquialism and insight --Arts Desk

You hear Anne Carson's wonderful new translation supple, salty and vivid... And by making you aware of the act of listening, it becomes, in part, about the responsibilities of democracy... the play seems to offer a challenge: what would you do? --Financial Times

It's presented in a version by Anne Carson, the brilliant, prize-winning Canadian poet and rigorous classicist whose creative meditations between the ancient Greek and modern worlds are renowned for their spiky stimulation. --Independent
