Description
Christa Wolf reimagines the epic tale of the Trojan War through the eyes of its most tragic figure, the prophetess Cassandra. Doomed to foresee the future but never be believed, Cassandra recounts her life and the fall of Troy from her unique perspective. This powerful narrative delves into themes of patriarchal oppression, complicity, and the struggle for individual truth against societal blindness. Wolf's profound retelling offers a complex portrait of a woman grappling with her destiny and the devastating consequences of a world that refuses to listen.
