英文简介:
“Haynes is master of her trade .
.
.
She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories.
“–Telegraph (UK) The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships and Pandora’s Jar returns with a fresh and stunningly perceptive take on the story of Medusa, the original monstered woman.
They will fear you and flee you and call you a monster.
The only mortal in a family of gods, Medusa is the youngest of the Gorgon sisters.
Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows older, experiences change, feels weakness.
Her mortal lifespan gives her an urgency that her family will never know.
When the sea god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene’s temple, the goddess is enraged.
Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes revenge–on the young woman.
Punished for Poseidon’s actions, Medusa is forever transformed.
Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone.
Cursed with the power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns herself to a life of solitude.
Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon .
.
.
In Stone Blind, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one of the earliest stories in which a woman–injured by a powerful man–is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault.
Delving into the origins of this mythic tale, Haynes revitalizes and reconstructs Medusa’s story with her passion and fierce wit, offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us today.
中文简介:
“海恩斯是她的行业大师……她成功地为我们的一些最古老的故事注入了温暖的生命。
”——《电讯报》(英国)全国畅销书《千船》和《潘多拉的罐子》的作者带着新鲜而惊人的洞察力回归美杜莎的故事,最初的怪物女人。
他们会害怕你,逃离你,称你为怪物。
美杜莎是众神家族中唯一的凡人,是戈耳工姐妹中最小的一个。
与她的兄弟姐妹不同,美杜莎变老了,经历了变化,感到虚弱。
她的凡人寿命给了她一种她的家人永远不会知道的紧迫感。
当海神波塞冬袭击雅典娜神庙中的美杜莎时,女神被激怒了。
雅典娜对侵犯她的神圣空间感到愤怒,对这位年轻女子进行了报复。
因波塞冬的行为受到惩罚,美杜莎永远改变了。
扭动的蛇取代了她的头发,她的目光可以将任何生物变成石头。
美杜莎被诅咒了一个眼神就能摧毁她所爱的一切,她注定要过孤独的生活。
直到 Perseus 开始了一项重要的任务,去取回 Gorgon 的头颅。
. .在《石盲》中,古典主义者兼喜剧演员娜塔莉海恩斯颠覆了我们对这个传奇神话的理解,将同理心和细微差别带入最早的故事之一,其中一个女人——被一个有权势的男人伤害——被指责、惩罚和怪物为攻击。
深入探究这个神话故事的起源,海恩斯以她的热情和机智重振和重构了美杜莎的故事,及时复述了这个今天对我们说话的经典神话。
