Circe

American Madeleine Miller, a classic philologist and Shakespeared, became known to readers of the whole world thanks to her debut novel “Achilles Song”. The “cirse” also goes root at the Homeric epic and also fascinates an unexpected reconstruction of personal history within the myth. The daughter of Titan Helios, the Sun itself, the cirus grows in the halls of the father lonely and unloved. Divine power is not available to her, but when her incomprehensible and dangerous gift makes itself felt, the gods and titans send a newly -born sorcerer to exile to an uninhabited island. Only occasionally the outside world bursts into its lonely eternity, until the Odyssey’s ship beaten by storms is picked to the shore. And far from all the consequences of this meeting are destined to stay in legends
