Description

American Madeleine Miller, a philologist and specialist in Shakespeare, became known to readers worldwide thanks to her debut novel “The Song of Achilles.” “Circe” also draws its roots from Homeric epic and is equally captivating with an unexpected reconstruction of a personal story within myth. Daughter of the Titan Helios, the very sun, Circe grows up in her father’s halls, lonely and unloved. Divine power is inaccessible to her, but when her mysterious and dangerous gift first shows itself, the gods and titans send the newly born sorceress into exile on an uninhabited island. Only from time to time the outside world breaks into her lonely eternity— until a ship of Odysseus, battered by storms, finally brushes the shore. And far from all consequences of this meeting are destined to remain in legends.
