Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the terrifyingly talented (London Times) author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG-IN THE NIGHT-TIME and THE PORPOISE, eight mesmerizingly imaginative, deeply-humane stories that use Greek myths and contemporary dystopian narratives to examine mortality, moral choices and the many variants of love.Greek myths have fascinated people for millenia, seeing in them lessons about fate and hubris and the contingency of existence. Mark Haddon digs into the heart of these ancient fables and sees them anew. The dawn goddess Eos asked asks Zeus to give her lover Tithonus eternal life, but forgets to ask for eternal youth. In The Quiet Limit of the World Haddon imagines Tithonus life as he slowly ages over thousands of years, turning the cautionary tale of tempting the gods into a spellbinding meditation on witnessing death from the outside, and ultimately, how carnal love evolves into something richer and more poignant with time. In The Mothers Story, Haddon takes the myth of the minotaur in his labyrinth, in which the beast is the spawn of the monstrous lust of the kings wife Pasiphae, and turns it into a wrenching parable of maternal love for a damaged child, and the more real monstrosities of patriarchy. Other stories play with contemporary mythic tropes genetic engineering, trying to escape the future, the viciousness of adolescent ostracism to showcase how modern humans are subject to the same capriciousness that obsessed the Greeks. Throughout Haddons supple prose showcases his astonishing powers of observation, of both the physical world and the workings of the psyche. His vision is clear-eyed, but always resolutely empathetic.
