A Thousand Ships

Natalie Haynes
Goodreads  

This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .In the middl...iddle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war. A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.

RECENZIA: Natalie Haynesová - Tisíc lodí

Sumár recenzie
Natalie Haynesová vo svojom románe Tisíc lodí prináša nový pohľad na Trójsku vojnu z perspektívy dievčat, žien a bohyň. Kniha zostavuje množstvo portrétov — od kráľovien a múz až po obyčajné ženy — a vystupujú v nej príbehy, ktoré doteraz bledli v tieni mužských hrdinov. Obzvlášť silné sú Penelopine listy adresované Odyseovi a nový, horkasto cítiteľný pohľad na Helenu, ktoré knihu robia emotívnou a nútia zamyslieť sa nad súčasnosťou. Je to pôsobivý ženský epos, dobre čitateľný a vhodný nielen pre milovníkov mytológie.
