Esses são alguns dos adjetivos que podem descrever Até que tenhamos rostos, livro no qual C. S. Lewis, com seu brilhantismo característico, realiza uma releitura do famoso mito de Cupido – deus imortal – e Psique – humana que, de tão bela, atrai o desejo e a inveja dos deuses. O autor localiza sua narrativa no reino fictício de Glome e subverte a perspectiva tradicional ao relatar a história a partir do ponto de vista de Orual, a rejeitada irmã de Psique.

Neste conto, a autora best-seller de Circe e A canção de Aquiles Madeline Miller, faz uma releitura feminista e corajosa do mito grego de Pigmalião, o hábil escultor que se apaixona por sua obra-prima em mármore: Galateia.

J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’.

Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales.

The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

The great city of Troy is under siege as Greek heroes Achilles and Agamemnon wage bloody war over a stolen woman. In the Greek camp, another woman is watching and waiting: Briseis. She was a queen of this land until Achilles sacked her city and murdered her husband and sons. Now she is Achilles' concubine: a prize of battle. Briseis is just one among thousands of women backstage in this war - the slaves and prostitutes, the nurses, the women who lay out the dead - all of them voiceless in history.
