The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony Calasso, Roberto
Good.
Paperback. Softcover 1994 Vintage International. Moderate age-tanning to pages. Very clean; no marks or creases; binding tight. Light wear. 403 pages; Sources. Language: English (translated from the Italian by Tim Parks). Included (folded and laid inside front cover) is a photocopy of a review of the book by William Murray, printed in The Boston Sunday Globe, 1993. '[T]he way this breath-takingly ambitious work shapes--and reshapes--classical mythology is remarkable indeed. Calasso, publisher of the intellectual Milanese house Adelphi, revisits the theogonies set forth by Hesiod, Homer, Ovid et al. and then recasts them for a postmodern audience. Gods and men enact the cosmic mysteries as the narrator comments aphoristically on the progress of ancient and divine history.... Calasso presents the abduction of Europa by a bull, analyzes the Trojan war, discusses the meaning of the word tragedy and charts the fall of classical Athens. Into this elegant chronology he also interpolates quotations from and allusions to a pantheon of classical writers, in the same weightless manner in which those writers made use of standard formulaic tropes; he extends his territory by planting modern points of reference.... Calasso's work bridges the perceived distance from the origins of Western culture.'--Publishers Weekly, 1993. [code J]
