From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of The Song of Achilles and Circe, an enchanting short story that boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion. **A small hardback edition featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller** In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece - the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen - the gift of life. Now his wife, he expects Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified. But she has desires of her own, and yearns for independence. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost... _________________________ Praise for CIRCE 'A thrilling tour de force of imagination' Mail on Sunday 'A bold and subversive retelling' New York Times 'A novel to be gobbled greedily in one sitting' Observer 'A remarkable achievement' Sunday Times

Nella casa di Elio, dio del sole e il più potente dei Titani, nasce una figlia. Ma Circe è una bambina strana: né potente come suo padre né seducente come sua madre. Rivolgendosi al mondo dei mortali per compagnia, scopre di possedere un potere: il potere della stregoneria, che può trasformare i rivali in mostri e minacciare gli stessi dei. Minacciata, Zeus la esilia su un'isola deserta, dove affina la sua arte occulta, doma bestie selvagge e incrocia i destini di molte delle figure più famose della mitologia, tra cui il Minotauro, Dedalo e suo figlio Icaro, la omicida Medea e, naturalmente, l'astuto Ulisse. Ma c'è anche pericolo per una donna che sta sola, e Circe inavvertitamente attira l'ira di uomini e dei, trovandosi infine a confrontarsi con uno dei più spaventosi e vendicativi degli Olimpici. Per proteggere ciò che ama di più, Circe deve convocare tutte le sue forze e scegliere, una volta per tutte, se appartiene agli dei da cui è nata o ai mortali che ha imparato ad amare.

Ахилл, юноша, самый могущественный из греческих воинов, силен, быстр и красив — неотразимое зрелище для всех, кто его видит. Патрокл, молодой принц, осужденный на изгнание из своей родины после несчастного насилия, попадает ко двору царя Пелея, отца Ахилла. Наперекор всему Ахилл принимает отвергнутого Патрокла под свою защиту, и из хрупкой дружбы постепенно развивается крепкая связь. По мере того как юноши растут вместе, их дружба становится все более близкой. Ведимые судьбой, они спешат в ряды других греческих мужчин осаждать Трою, где в плену находится царица Спарты Елена. Безжалостная кровопролитная война испытывает юношей и ставит на карту все, что они считают дорогим. Под давлением богов и царей, амбиций и любви жестокие Мойры ведут Ахилла и Патрокла к ужасной жертве.

Fruit des amours d'un dieu et d'une mortelle, Circé la nymphe grandit parmi les divinités de l'Olympe. Mais son caractère étonne. Détonne. On la dit sorcière, parce qu'elle aime changer les choses. Plus humaine que céleste, parce qu'elle est sensible. En l'exilant sur une île déserte, comme le fut jadis Prométhée pour avoir trop aimé les hommes, ses pairs ne lui ont-ils pas plutôt rendu service ? Là, l'immortelle peut choisir qui elle est. Demi-déesse, certes, mais femme avant tout. Puissante, libre, amoureuse...
