Krátky popis
A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra
casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy ",A
thoughtful, sympathetic portrait of a legendary historical
figure.",-Kirkus Reviews The siren passionately in love with Mark
Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had
herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded
in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare,
George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters
written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are
words written by others.What has it meant for our understanding of
Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political
agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who
believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek
and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of
Cleopatra in art, theater, and film, to challenge past narratives
driven by orientalism and misogyny and offer a new interpretation
of Cleopatra's history through the lens of our current era.
