"No retelling of Kassandra and the Wolf can explain its charm, or its riddles. ... [It] is one of those rare creations that come alive mysteriously, without any antecedents. The book is original, terrifying, complete. It invents its own history, eases in and out of nightmare as it mingles dream and fact. Kassandra and the Wolf is a short, muscular novel with an absolute sense of craft. ... The language throughout is merciless and crisp. ... [A] stunning achievement: a lovely, sinister book." --Jerome Charyn, New York Times Margarita Karapanou's Kassandra and the Wolf was first published in 1974, and went on to become a contemporary classic in Greece, receive international acclaim, and establish its 28-year-old author as an intensely original new talent, who garnered comparisons to Proust and Schulz. Six-year-old Kassandra is given a doll: "I put her to sleep in her box, but first I cut off her legs and arms so she'd fit," she tells us, "Later, I cut her head off too, so she wouldn't be so heavy. Now I love her very much." Kassandra is an unforgettable narrator, a perfect, brutal guide to childhood as we've never seen it--a journey that passes through the looking glass but finds the darkest corners of the real world. This edition brings Kassandra and the Wolf back into print at last--a tour de force and, as Karapanou liked to call it, a scary monster of a book.

Kassandra DE 1983 (BRD), 1983 (DDR) Form Erzählung Epoche Gegenwart Anfang der 1980er Jahre schrieb Christa Wolf mit Kassandra einen Text, der zwei Themenkomplexe ihres Werkes zusammenfasst - die Bemühung um Frieden und um weibliche Emanzipation. In einer Zeit des Kalten Krieges, des atomaren Wettrüstens und der noch nicht erreichten Gleichstellung der Frau war Wolfs Erzählung über eine mythologische Frauengestalt von frappierender Aktualität. Anhand des Kassandra-Mythos zeigt die Autorin jahrtausendealte kriegsfördernde Mechanismen auf, etwa die feindliche Abgrenzung nach außen zur Sicherung der eigenen Ideologie. Krieg wird als Ergebnis patriarchaler Machtstrukturen beschrieben, zu deren Aufrechterhaltung die Unterdrückung der Frau unumgänglich ist. Entstehung: 1982 war Wolf Gastdozentin an der Universität Frankfurt/Main. Ihre Poetik-Vorlesungen trugen den Titel Voraussetzungen einer Erzählung: Kassandra und rekonstruierten in einer Mischung aus Reisebericht, Arbeitstagebuch und Briefen den Entstehungsprozess der Erzählung, zu dem die Lektüre der Orestie des Aischylos auf einer Griechenlandreise den ersten Anstoß gegeben hatte. Wolf greift verschiedene Varianten des Kassandra-Mythos auf und entwickelt ein eigenes Bild der Figur: Kassandra wird zum Symbol für die »Stimmlosigkeit« der Frau.

The Alexandra attributed to Lykophron is a minor poetic masterpiece. At 1474 lines, it is one of the most important and notoriously difficult Greek poems dating from the Hellenistic period (most likely the early second century BC). Most of the poem purports to be a prophecy by the mythical Trojan princess, Kassandra, the most beautiful of the daughters of King Priam, and her prophecy ranges from the Trojan War to the Roman defeat of Macedon in 197 BC, which took place in the poet's own time. The poem's importance arises from the light which it sheds on Greek religion (in particular the role of women), on foundation myths and myths of colonial identity, and on local - especially Italian - cults and cult places. The difficulty of the poem stems from its unusual vocabulary - many words of ancient Greek are found only in this poem - and the riddling and indirect way in which most of the many mythological characters are introduced. As well as providing the Greek text in full and its English translation, this volume provides the first ever full-length commentary in English on the poem.
