书籍简介

阿特拉斯被他敢于违抗的诸神判处永远肩负世界，自由对他来说似乎遥不可及。但随后他收到了赫拉克勒斯的意外来访，他是一个足以分担负担的强者......

简妮特 温特森重述了阿特拉斯和赫拉克勒斯的神话，提出了关于选择和强制的性质的困难和永恒的问题。《重量》具有远见卓识和创造性，它将我们熟悉的事物颠倒过来，以一种新的视角向我们展示自己。

神话系列汇集了一些世界上优秀的作家，他们每个人都以当代和令人难忘的方式重述了一个神话。该系列的作者包括凯伦·阿姆斯特朗、玛格丽特·阿特伍德、A.S.拜亚特、大卫·格罗斯曼、桐野夏生、亚历山大·麦考尔·史密斯、菲利普·普尔曼、阿里·史密斯和简妮特 温特森。

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.
