Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2023. In Stone Blind, the instant Sunday Times bestseller, Natalie Haynes brings the infamous Medusa to life as you have never seen her before. 'Witty, gripping, ruthless' – Margaret Atwood via Twitter 'Beautiful and moving' – Neil Gaiman ‘So to mortal men, we are monsters. Because of our flight, our strength. They fear us, so they call us monsters’ Medusa is the sole mortal in a family of gods. Growing up with her Gorgon sisters, she begins to realize that she is the only one who experiences change, the only one who can be hurt. When Poseidon commits an unforgiveable act against Medusa in the temple of Athene, the goddess takes her revenge where she can: on his victim. Medusa is changed forever – writhing snakes for hair and her gaze now turns any living creature to stone. She can look at nothing without destroying it. Desperate to protect her beloved sisters, Medusa condemns herself to a life of shadows. Until Perseus embarks upon a quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . . ‘A fierce feminist exploration of female rage, written with wit and empathy’ – Glamour

"Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories."--Telegraph (UK) The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships and Pandora's Jar returns with a fresh and stunningly perceptive take on the story of Medusa, the original monstered woman. They will fear you and flee you and call you a monster. The only mortal in a family of gods, Medusa is the youngest of the Gorgon sisters. Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows older, experiences change, feels weakness. Her mortal lifespan gives her an urgency that her family will never know. When the sea god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene's temple, the goddess is enraged. Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes revenge--on the young woman. Punished for Poseidon's actions, Medusa is forever transformed. Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone. Cursed with the power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns herself to a life of solitude. Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . . In Stone Blind, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one of the earliest stories in which a woman--injured by a powerful man--is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault. Delving into the origins of this mythic tale, Haynes revitalizes and reconstructs Medusa's story with her passion and fierce wit, offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us today.

Medusa – Schwester, Opfer, Monster? Medusa wächst bei ihren Schwestern auf und merkt schnell, dass sie anders ist – eine Sterbliche in einer Familie von Göttern. Von ihrer Schönheit angezogen, bedrängt der Meeresgott Poseidon sie im Tempel der Athene. Die Göttin wähnt ihren Tempel entweiht und lässt ihre Wut an der Unschuldigen aus: Medusa wird in ein Monster mit Schlangenhaaren verwandelt, das kein Lebewesen mehr ansehen kann, ohne es zu Stein erstarren zu lassen. Aus Rücksicht verdammt Medusa sich zu einem Leben in der Einsamkeit. Bis der junge Perseus sich aufmacht, das Haupt eines Ungeheuers zu erlangen... Poetisch und klug erzählt Natalie Haynes die Geschichte einer Frau, die von anderen zum Monster gemacht wird – und sich doch selbst behauptet.

Alles ist so gekommen, wie sie es vorausgesagt hatten... ... nur noch schlimmer! Troja brennt, der Krieg ist verloren. Warum hat Hektor nicht auf die weisen Worte seiner Frau gehört? Doch Andromache empfindet keine Genugtuung darüber, dass sie recht hatte – sondern stetig wachsendes Grauen. Denn während die Männer im Krieg ihr Leben verlieren, verlieren die Frauen alles andere. Doch sie zeigen ihren Tränen nicht. Vielmehr erzählen sie ihre Geschichte, als wäre sie ein Gedicht: melodisch, klug und unterhaltsam. Ihre Erinnerungen sind schmerzhaft, doch ihr Kampfgeist ist ungebrochen. ›A Thousand Ships – Die Heldinnen von Troja‹ füllt eine Leerstelle: Endlich hören wir von den Frauen, deren Leben, Lieben und Rivalitäten durch den tragischen Krieg für immer verändert wurden – eindrucksvoll übersetzt von Lena Kraus »Elegant und intelligent ... Haynes verbindet ihr umfassendes Wissen über die griechische Mythologie mit der Gabe, fesselnd zu erzählen« - The Times Für alle Leser*innen von Madeline Miller Lesen Sie auch › STONE BLIND – Der Blick der Medusa‹ von Natalie Haynes. Poetisch und klug erzählt Natalie Haynes darin die Geschichte einer Frau, die von anderen zum Monster gemacht wird – und sich doch selbst behauptet.

“[A] dark, elegant novel” of two women in ancient Greece, based on the great tragedies of Sophocles (Publishers Weekly). Thebes is a city in mourning, still reeling from a devastating plague that invaded every home and left the survivors devastated and fearful. This is the Thebes that Jocasta has known her entire life, a city ruled by a king—her husband-to-be. Jocasta struggles through this miserable marriage until she is unexpectedly widowed. Now free to choose her next husband, she selects the handsome, youthful Oedipus. When whispers emerge of an unbearable scandal, the very society that once lent Jocasta its support seems determined to destroy her. Ismene is a girl in mourning, longing for the golden days of her youth, days spent lolling in the courtyard garden, reading and reveling in her parents’ happiness and love. Now she is an orphan and the target of a murder plot, attacked within the very walls of the palace. As the deadly political competition swirls around her, she must uncover the root of the plot—and reveal the truth of the curse that has consumed her family. The novel is based on Oedipus Tyrannus and Antigone, two of Classical Greece’s most compelling tragedies. Told in intersecting narratives, this reimagining of Sophocles’s classic plays brings life and voice to the women who were too often forced to the background of their own stories. “After two and a half millennia of near silence, Jocasta and Ismene are finally given a chance to speak . . . Haynes’s Thebes is vividly captured. In her excellent new novel, she harnesses the mutability of myth.” —The Guardian

*** From the bestselling author of Stone Blind and A Thousand Ships *** When you open up, who will you let in? Alex Morris has lost everything: her relationship, her career and her faith in the future. Moving to Edinburgh to escape her demons, Alex takes a job teaching at a Pupil Referral Unit. It's a place for kids whose behaviour is so extreme that they cannot be taught in a regular classroom. Alex is fragile with grief and way out of her depth. Her fourth-year students are troubled and violent. Desperate to reach them, Alex turns to the stories she knows best. Greek tragedy isn't the most obvious way to win over such damaged children, yet these tales of fate, family and vengeance speak directly to them. Enthralled by the bloodthirsty justice of the ancient world, the teenagers begin to weave the threads of their own tragedy - one that Alex watches, helpless to prevent.
