Galatea: A Short Story

by Madeline Miller
Compare to estimated retail price: S$13.19  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

Galatea: A Short Story
Galatea: A Short Story

Myth reimagined, Galatea seeks freedom, defies control.

If Greek mythology told through a fresh lens entices you, "Galatea" could be an enriching experience. Madeline Miller is known for her lyrical prose and deep character exploration. This story delves into themes of autonomy and resistance, breathing life into an age-old tale. It's a short read but packed with emotion and thought-provoking moments that might just leave you contemplating long after you've turned the final page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece – the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen – the gift of life. Now his wife, Galatea, is expected to be obedience and humility personified, but it is not long before she learns to use her beauty as a form of manipulation. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost...
