Описание:

Written by the celebrated Cypriot artist Stass Paraskos, the Mythology of Cyprus is an immensely readable and truly entertaining journey through the pagan world of ancient Cyprus, when the island really was the Land of Aphrodite, goddess of love. First published in 1981, the book was a pioneering exploration of the way ancient Greek mythology was understood in a regional location such as Cyprus. As Dr Michael Paraskos, of Imperial College London, explains in his new introduction, the book was written at a time when few academics bothered to pay much attention to Cyprus, and many Cypriots themselves preferred to see their island's history and culture as no more than an extension of Greece or Turkey, rather than a unique phenomenon in its own right. The publication of this book set down a challenge to those narratives, presenting for the first time a uniquely Cypriot view of ancient Greek mythology and folklore, written by a Cypriot. With special excursions into surviving influences of pagan belief and practise in modern Cyprus, and a fictionalised journey around pre-Christian Cyprus in the company of a character named Bronteas, the Mythology of Cyprus is joy to read. This book is also available in Greek and Turkish language editions.

Описание:

A murderous Nazi-sympathiser on the loose, a dead father who has left a mystery to solve and a lost love all mix in this contemporary classic of anarchist literture. Overwhelmed by feelings of anger, guilt and loss at the death of his father, we are taken on a journey into a kind of madness in which the boundaries between fact and fiction break down. In a terrifying alternative reality, where even time seems unstable, we encounter the horrific figure of Pound, a murderous Nazi-sympathiser, determined to get his hands on a hidden diary and the protean but beautiful femme fatale Miss Waites. As art and life collide in this moving, often angry, but also funny book, the question remains whether art can make life whole again.
