İthaki Yayınları The Silence of the Girls

Product description

According to npr, washington post, financial times, and the economist, it is one of the best books of the year. I heard her before i saw her: her scream echoed inside our walls. You didn't need to see him to know him

his glory would precede him to the very places of battle: the mighty and brilliant akhilleus, the akhilleus who resembled the gods... we wouldn't use any of these names when speaking of him. We called him “butcher”. The day he ripped me out of my own city, my own throne, everything about my old life was left behind. I was akhilleus's concubine, who had killed my brothers and husband, a of an army that was on its way to take troy. I was a prey to him who didn't care who the needle was, nothing more. What would he care about? Its glory… because that's how the bargain was made, that's the promise the cunning gods made to him: eternal glory and honor in exchange for an early death beneath the walls of troy. And he was close to death, he knew it. But this story won't tell how the war was glorious, how the men fought so bravely, it's been done many times. No, this is the story of those who were forced to forget at that date. We won't be forgotten, though. even years later, mothers will still sing their children the songs of troy, and we won't be missing from their dreams... or their nightmares. In the silence of the girls, pat barker tells the trojan war from the perspective of briseis, a woman who, in the shadow of the men seeking revenge, such as akhilleus, odysseus, and agamemnon, brings a completely new perspective to the iliad epic. A stunning, thought-provoking, and chilling novel about the silence girls keep when they're thrust into war and beyond. "in one word, magnificent."" diana gabaldon ""it is almost as glorious as homer wrote." Famous events and mythological names come to life in this book in a magical way. A touching and masterfully crafted novel.” the economist “the silence of girls is a novel brimming with intelligence.” kirkus “this book couldn't have been written at a better time.” Barker is a true master of reflecting the everyday language of women.” publishers weekly “an elegantly written novel about iliad from the man booker prize winner pat barker. Everything about this book is very convincing. We can't recommend it enough. booklist: "i, kirke was a monumental feminist narrative, while *girls' silence* is on a completely different level with every single piece." This is the story of the dowry girl in pat barker's novel.
