Condemned to shoulder the world forever by the gods he dared defy,
freedom seems unattainable to Atlas. But then he receives an
unexpected visit from Heracles, the one man strong enough to share
the burden . . . Jeanette Winterson's retelling of the myth of
Atlas and Heracles asks difficult and eternal questions about the
nature of choice and coercion. Visionary and inventive, Weight
turns the familiar on its head to show us ourselves in a new light.
The Myths series brings together some of the world's finest
writers, each of whom has retold a myth in a contemporary and
memorable way. Authors in the series include Karen Armstrong,
Margaret Atwood, A.S. Byatt, David Grossman, Natsuo Kirino,
Alexander McCall Smith, Philip Pullman, Ali Smith and Jeanette
Winterson.
