Über diesen Titel

Like Spartan Helen, I caused a war. She caused hers by letting men who wanted her take her. I caused mine because I wouldn't be given, wouldn't be taken, but chose my man and my fate. The man was famous, the fate obscure; not a bad balance.

Lavinia is the daughter of the King of Latium, a victorious warrior who loves peace; she is her father's closest companion. Now of an age to wed, Lavinia's mother favours her own kinsman, King Turnus of Rutulia, handsome, heroic, everything a young girl should want. Instead, Lavinia dreams of mighty Aeneas, a man she has heard of only from a ghost of a poet, who comes to her in the gods' holy place and tells her of her future and Aeneas' past....

If she refuses to wed Turnus, Lavinia knows she will start a war - but her fate was set the moment the poet appeared to her in a dream and told her of the adventurer who fled fallen Troy, holding his son's hand and carrying his father on his back....

Kritikerstimmen

"An exceptional combination of history and mythology - an intriguing, luxuriously realised novel." (Financial Times)

landscapes building in my imagination, as if I smell the lands Lavinia grew up in. the cities I could see and be impressed as the amazing narrator read the book. I don't think I would love it the same if I had read the book myself. the book came alive with the narrators voice. the focus on peace and the price to pay for it was very powerful. higher forces that decide for us, the sea and the land to hear, to listen, to obey. great tension between urgency and letting go, deciding and surrender, agency and faith... such a balanced book and a great feminist writing. so much to learn from this book. also on war and peace, love and nature, good governance. must read. thanks my friend who suggested me this book and my other friend who lent me my first Ursula LeGuin read of the dispossessed ( another must read).

amazing story, never disappoint Ursula LeGuin
