The Beloved of the Dawn by Franz F?hmann (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Beloved of the Dawn by Franz FÜhmann, Isabel Fargo Cole, Sunandini Banerjee Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Four classical Greek myths retold with unexpected twists by an East German dissident. Franz FÜhmanns subversive retellings of four Greek legends were first published in East Germany in 1980. In them, FÜhmann plumbs the ancient tales depths and makes them his own. Attuned to conflict and paradox, he sheds light on the complexities of sex and love, art and beauty, politics and power. In the title story, the love of the goddess Eos for the mortal Tithonos reveals the blessing and curse of transience, while "Hera and Zeus" probes the divine couples tumultuous relationship and its devastating consequences for a world embroiled in war. FÜhmanns unflinching account of Marsyas flaying by Apollo has been widely read as a dissident political statement that has lost none of its incisive force. At times charged with sensuality, and at others honed to a keen analytical edge, FÜhmanns shimmering prose is matched by Sunandini Banerjees exquisite collages. Author Biography Franz FÜhmann (1922–1984) was one of modern Germanys most fascinating literary figures and the author of dozens of novels, short stories, essays, poems, ballets, and childrens books. Isabel Fargo Cole is a United States-born, Berlin-based writer and translator. She is the initiator and coeditor of No Mans Land, an online magazine for new German literature in English.
