Margaret Atwood (geb. 1939): The Penelopiad, Gebunden

Klappentext

A fresh take on what
follows Homer's The Odyssey by the international best-selling author of The
Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood. Now that all the others have
run out of air, it's my turn to do a little story-making . . . So I'll spin my
own thread. Penelope. Immortalised in legend and myth as the devoted
wife of the glorious Odysseus, silently weaving and unpicking and weaving again
as she waits for her husband's return. Now Penelope wanders the underworld,
spinning a different kind of thread: her own side of the story - a tale of
lust, greed and murder.
