$19.95
Exile Classics Series – Number Thirteen: The Trojan Women by Euripides and Helen and Orestes by Ritsos.
A trio of timeless works:
The Trojan Women, the great ancient theatre piece by Euripedes in a new version by Gwendolyn MacEwen that breathes unparalleled life into an ancient masterpiece with a stunning command of the Greek language and a mastery of poetic nuance,
Two long poems by the contemporary Greek, Nobel-nominated, Yannis Ritsos – translated by Gwendolyn MacEwen and Nikos Tsingos.
“It’s significant that MacEwen would choose to translate The Trojan Women and Helen texts, for after all, they are filled with the plaint of women, their powerlessness, their victimization, and a sense of isolation . . . The vocabulary of these translations is so much MacEwen’s own that they seem almost to have been written by her. These translations are deeply felt.” —Margaret Atwood
