Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Homers Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local -- a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than the Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelopes parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumors circulating about her. Ive chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesnt hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. Ive always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself. -- from Margaret Atwoods Foreword to The Penelopiad.

Please See All Photos. Penelopiad Is A Sharp, Brilliant And Tender Revision Of A Story At The Heart Of Our Culture: The Myths About Penelope And Odysseus. In Homer'S Familiar Version, The Odyssey, Penelope Is Portrayed As The Quintessential Faithful Wife. Left Alone For Twenty Years When Odysseus Goes To Fight In The Trojan Wars, She Manages To Maintain The Kingdom Of Ithaca, Bring Up Her Wayward Son And, In The Face Of Scandalous Rumours, Keep Over A Hundred Suitors At Bay. When Odysseus Finally Comes Home After Enduring Hardships, Overcoming Monsters And Sleeping With Goddesses, He Kills Penelope'S Suitors And?Curiously?Twelve Of Her Maids. In Homer The Hanging Of The Maids Merits Only A Fleeting Though Poignant Mention, But Atwood Comments In Her Introduction That She Has Always Been Haunted By Those Deaths. The Penelopiad, She Adds, Begins With Two Questions: What Led To The Hanging Of The Maids, And What Was Penelope Really Up To? In The Book, These Subjects Are Explored By Penelope Herself?Telling The Story From Hades ? The Greek Afterworld - In Wry, Sometimes Acid Tones. But Penelope'S Maids Also Figure As A Singing And Dancing Chorus (And Chorus Line), Commenting On The Action In Poems, Songs, An Anthropology Lecture And Even A Videotaped Trial. The Penelopiad Does Several Dazzling Things At Once. First, It Delves Into A Moment Of Casual Brutality And Reveals All That The Act Contains: A Practice Of Sexual Violence And Gender Prejudice Our Society Has Not Outgrown. But It Is Also A Daring Interrogation Of Homer'S Poem, And Its Counter-Narratives ? Which Draw On Mythic Material Not Used By Homer - Cleverly Unbalance The Original. This Is The Case Throughout, From The Unsettling Questions That Drive Penelope'S Tale Forward, To More Comic Doubts About Some Of The Odyssey'S Most Famous Episodes. ("Odysseus Had Been In A Fight With A Giant One-Eyed Cyclops, Said Some; No, It Was Only A One-Eyed Tavern Keeper, Said Another, And The Fight Was Over Non-Payment Of The Bill.") In Fact, The Penelopiad Weaves And Unweaves The Texture Of The Odyssey In Several Searching Ways. The Odyssey Was Originally A Set Of Songs, For Example; The New Version'S Ballads And Idylls Complement And Clash With The Original. Thinking More About Theme, The Maids' Voices Add A New And Unsettling Complex Of Emotions That Is Missing From Homer. The Penelopiad Takes What Was Marginal And Brings It To The Centre, Where One Can See Its Full Complexity. The Same Goes For Its Heroine. Penelope Is An Important Figure In Our Literary Culture, But We Have Seldom Heard Her Speak For Herself. Her Sometimes Scathing Comments In The Penelopiad (About Her Cousin, Helen Of Troy, For Example) Make Us Think Of Penelope Differently ? And The Way She Talks About The Twenty-First Century, Which She Observes From Hades, Makes Us See Ourselves Anew Too. Margaret Atwood Is An Astonishing Storyteller, And The Penelopiad Is, Most Of All, A Haunting And Deeply Entertaining Story. This Book Plumbs Murder And Memory, Guilt And Deceit, In A Wise And Passionate Manner. At Time Hilarious And At Times Deeply Thought-Provoking, It Is Very Much A Myth For Our Times.
