Electra

Autor Kerry Greenwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2013
Praise for Medea, the first Delphic Woman novel... "This is a book I didn't want to end." -Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Last to Die Greenwood takes us to Troy as it struggles to rise from the ashes of the Trojan War. Others have told the story as a struggle of men, but Greenwood shows us a compelling female viewpoint. The women of Troy are in terrible transition. Cassandra is King Agamemnon's captive; Queen Clytemnestra has taken a lover, throwing her own loyalties into question; and then there's Electra, daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon. What secret is she hiding? Cast aside everything you think you know about the Electra myth and allow yourself to view this classic story from a new perspective. Australian Kerry Greenwood here investigates one of the most dramatic stories in all of history. Electra is third in her Delphic Women Series. "An enthralling, sensual, tragic tale packed with historical detail." -Kirkus Reviews of Medea

Recenzii

"The first of her three Delphic Women series to be available in the United States is an enthralling, sensual, tragic tale packed with historical detail."—Kirkus Review of Medea

"Greenwood offers interesting riffs on familiar figures of myth, and impressively buttresses her biggest departure from the usual story in a scholarly afterword. She also makes the most of the dramatic potential in the journey of the Argo through dangers that anticipate Odysseus’s perilous return home after the Trojan War. The Medea-centric sections serve as a welcome counterpoint to Robert Graves’s Hercules, My Shipmate."—Publishers Weekly starred review of Medea
 
"In the first volume of her “Delphic Women” historical series set in ancient Greece, Greenwood has taken the ultimate dysfunctional mother and created a character of depth and complexity who betrayed and was betrayed, was lost and, ultimately, redeemed. Greenwood, a prolific and popular writer in her native Australia, is best known here for her humorous Phryne Fisher and Corrina Chapman mysteries. Readers who enjoy such literary reinterpretations of classical myths as Ursula Le Guin’s Lavinia or Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad will snap up Greenwood’s fresh take."—Library Journal starred review of Medea
 
"Compared to Greenwood’s more well-known fiction, this book is a bit of a curiosity, but it’s definitely worth checking out."—Booklist of Medea
