Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Myths series gathers a diverse group of the finest writers of our time to provide a contemporary take on our most enduring myths. From the outset the idea was to approach writers from around the world and invite them to retell any myth in any way they chose.In Homers account, Penelopes story is the salutary tale of the constant wife. It is she who rules Odysseuss kingdom of Ithaca during his twenty-year absence at the Trojan War; she who raises their wayward son and fends off over a hundred insistent suitors. When Odysseus finally returnshaving vanquished monsters, slept with goddesses and endured many other well-documented hardshipshe kills the suitors and also, curiously, twelve of Penelopes maids.In a splendid contemporary twist, Margaret Atwood tells the story through Penelope and her twelve hanged maids, asking: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? Its a dazzling, playful retelling, as wise and compassionate as it is haunting; as wildly entertaining as it is disturbing. In The Odyssey, Penelope - daughter of King Icarius of Sparta, and the cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy - is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife. Atwood's dazzling retelling of the old myth is as haunting as it is wise and compassionate, as disturbing as it is entertaining. She gives the story new life and reality.
