In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
##英文有聲書。讀瞭一陣無感就放棄瞭。開頭那裏寫Circe見到她叔叔普羅米修斯,還在想寫這倆人的話還挺帶感。。。
評分##Circe/Kirke原本在神話裏就是一個另類的存在,Olympian眾神本來就孩子氣得要命(不然Athena為什麼會為瞭Paris選Aphrodite而毀瞭特洛伊),而且離荷馬史詩過瞭兩韆多年,很難有新梗,老劇情也快被抄爛瞭。所以這本可以說是個不可多得的新說瞭。不懂為什麼豆瓣評分這麼低,大概是希臘神話普及率不是很高?
評分##我再也不相信我那群美國同學推薦的書瞭。。
評分##4.5. 超越我的期待值,盡管我知道這是本廣受歡迎的好書,但對於我這個並不常看fantasy類彆讀者,且因為小時候讀希臘神話故事總有something is lost的感受的人來說,這是本讓我開始對retelling這一個小類彆的書籍重建信心和興趣的開始。Circe這本書最突齣的是作者掌握瞭一種很自然的平衡狀態,在希臘神話故事裏齣名人物和場景作為整體環境中,娓娓道來主人公的故事,展現的是她的經曆和成長。在作者筆下,感覺那些希臘神話中曾作為陪襯和被遺忘的女神是如此栩栩如生,Circe正是如此。她這個角色是如此動態,如此“人”性:她對自己身份的認知和自我懷疑,叛逆,脆弱與頑強,錯誤與懲罰。我們需要更多的這樣從女性視覺看曆史,看神話,看過去的retelling.
評分##Humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep. They barely care if you are wicked. The only thing that makes them listen is power. 書名乾脆翻譯為《白蓮女神誤入凡塵之我要復仇》???????????? 你看女????錘不錘你就完瞭
評分##Why everything has to start with a romance?? That should be the least feminist of all.
評分##很少讀希臘神話的我覺得耳目一新,非常喜歡!作者文筆非常好,有聲書的朗讀也好聽。
評分##好好看!幾年前在上coursera的《奧德賽》的時候,就特彆喜歡Calypso和Circe。“她注定會愛上每一個經過的男人,但他們都不得不離開。” 這本書又把希臘神話知識給我鞏固瞭一遍,很棒很棒。
