CIRCE. UNA HEROÍNA. UNA HECHICERA. UNA MUJER QUE ENCUENTRA SU PODER. CAERÁS BAJO SU HECHIZOEn el palacio de Helios, dios del sol y el más poderoso de los titanes, nace una niña. Pero Circe es una niña rara: carece de los poderes de su padre y de la agresiva capacidad de seducción de su madre. Cuando acude al mundo de los mortales en busca de compañía, descubre que sí posee un poder, el poder de la brujería, con el que puede transformar a sus rivales en monstruos y amenazar a los mismísimos dioses.Temeroso, Zeus la destierra a una isla desierta, donde Circe perfecciona sus oscuras artes, doma bestias salvajes y se va topando con numerosas figuras célebres de la mitología griega: desde el Minotauro a Dédalo y su desventurado hijo Ícaro, la asesina Medea y, por supuesto, el astuto Odiseo.Pero también la acecha el peligro, y Circe concita, sin saberlo, la ira tanto de los humanos como de los dioses, por lo que acaba teniendo que enfrentarse con uno de los olímpicos más impo

University of Toronto Press Dramatizing Dido, Circe, and Griselda
One of the most acclaimed French poets from the turn of the eighteenth century and one of the rare women of the time to achieve recognition at court, Louise-Geneviève Gillot de Sainctonge was France’s first female librettist. The current volume provides not only the most in-depth biography of her ever published, but also the first appearance of any of her work in English. It features her two tragic opera libretti, both of which were set to music and staged at the Opéra, a spoken play that constitutes an important precursor of tearful comedy, and a small sampling of her poetry. The three dramatic works give thoughtful portrayals of women of high rank who exemplify traits such as fidelity, integrity and forthrightness, only to find themselves powerless in a misogynist society, where the male heroes turn out to be inglorious.—Perry GethnerNorris Professor of French, Oklahoma State University

University of Illinois Press Transformations of Circe: THE HISTORY OF AN ENCHANTRESS
Beginning with a detailed study of Homer's balance of negative and positive elements in the Circe-Odysseus myth, Judith Yarnall employs text and illustrations to demonstrate how Homer's Circe is connected with age-old traditions of goddess worship. She then examines how the image of a one-sided "witch," who first appeared in the commentary of Homer's allegorical interpreters, proved remarkably persistent, influencing Virgil and Ovid. Yarnall concludes with a discussion of work by Margaret Atwood and Eudora Welty in which the enchantress at last speaks in her own voice: that of a woman isolated by, but unashamed of, her power.

Biografía de la baronesa Nica Rothschild contada por su sobrina-nietaNacida Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild (1913-1988), Nica pertenecía a uno de los clanes más poderosos del mundo. Se crió en un ambiente de lujos materiales y desatención personal; una jaula de oro con joyas incrustadas cuya única salida era el matrimonio. Muy joven, se casó con el barón Von Koenigswarter con quien tuvo cinco hijos; juntos vivieron en una magnífica mansión de Normandía, donde frecuentaban la alta sociedad y se codeaban con magnates, miembros de la realeza, políticos, intelectuales y playboys. Pero a raíz de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Nica descubrió otra vida donde las opciones más íntimas eran posibles, y poco después, a un músico genial, Thelonious Monk, al que dedicaría casi treinta años de su existencia. Un buen día de 1950, sin previo aviso, lo dejó todo, se marchó a Nueva York y allí cambió sus amistades cosmopolitas por un brillante grupo de músicos de jazz.Hannah Rothschild, sobrina-n

University of California Press Blood Politics: Race, Culture, and Identity in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
Circe Sturm takes a bold and original approach to one of the most highly charged and important issues in the United States today: race and national identity. Focusing on the Oklahoma Cherokee, she examines how Cherokee identity is socially and politically constructed, and how that process is embedded in ideas of blood, color, and race. Not quite a century ago, blood degree varied among Cherokee citizens from full blood to 1/256, but today the range is far greater--from full blood to 1/2048. This trend raises questions about the symbolic significance of blood and the degree to which blood connections can stretch and still carry a sense of legitimacy. It also raises questions about how much racial blending can occur before Cherokees cease to be identified as a distinct people and what danger is posed to Cherokee sovereignty if the federal government continues to identify Cherokees and other Native Americans on a racial basis. Combining contemporary ethnography and ethnohistory, Sturm's sophisticated and insightful analysis probes the intersection of race and national identity, the process of nation formation, and the dangers in linking racial and national identities.

Friendless and fatherless, sixteen-year-old Szu lives in the shadow of her mother Amisa, once a beautiful actress and now a hack medium performing séances with her sister in a rusty house. When Szu meets the privileged, acid-tongued Circe, they develop an intense friendship which offers Szu an escape from her mother’s alarming solitariness, and Circe a step closer to the fascinating, unknowable Amisa.Seventeen years later, Circe is struggling through a divorce in fraught and ever-changing Singapore when a project comes up at work: a remake of the cult seventies horror film series ‘Ponti’, the very project that defined Amisa’s short-lived film career. Suddenly Circe is knocked off balance: by memories of the two women she once knew, by guilt, and by a past that threatens her conscience . . .Told from the perspectives of all three women, Ponti by Sharlene Teo is an exquisite story of friendship and memory spanning decades. Infused with mythology and modernity, with the rich sticky heat of Singapore, it is at once an astounding portrayal of the gaping loneliness of teenagehood, and a vivid exploration of how tragedy can make monsters of us.Shortlisted for Hearsts' Big Book Award 2018.
