书籍简介

对古希腊神话中的特修斯和弥诺陶洛斯进行了令人着迷的描述，非常适合《CIRCE》、《ACHILLES之歌》和《女孩的沉默》的粉丝。

“在这里，阿里阿德涅占据了一个充满抒情的、有洞察力的描述的中心位置。这叙述探讨了她的动机和情感，以及脾气暴躁、冷酷无情的神和热血的男人对她所造成的不满，他们同样具有报复性和自利性--《每日邮报》"

当然，这个故事是众所周知的，但森特巧妙地讲述了它。作为克里特岛的公主和可怕的米诺斯国王的女儿，阿里阿德涅和她的妹妹菲德拉从小就听到米诺陶洛斯的蹄声和钟声从宫殿下面的迷宫里回荡。

弥诺陶洛斯--米诺斯的耻辱，也是阿里阿德涅的兄弟--每年都要求流血。当雅典王子特修斯作为祭品来到克里特岛时，阿里阿德涅爱上了他。但帮助特修斯杀死怪物意味着背叛她的家庭和国家，阿里阿德涅非常清楚，在一个由多情的神统治的世界里，引起他们的注意会让你失去一切。

在这个女人只是有权有势的男人的棋子的世界里，阿里阿德涅为特修斯背叛克里特岛的决定能否确保她的幸福结局？或者她会发现自己为她爱人的野心而牺牲？《阿里阿德涅》为希腊有名的神话之一中被遗忘的女性发出了声音，并讲述了她们在面对愤怒、娇纵的神时所爆发出来的力量。

A mesmerising retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Perfect for fans of CIRCE, A SONG OF ACHILLES, and THE SILENCE OF THE GIRLS. 'Here, Ariadne takes centre stage in a lyrical, insightful re-telling that explores her motivations and emotions and the grievances caused by grumpy, cold-hearted gods and warm-blooded men, who are equally vengeful and self-interested - Daily Mail'The story is well known, of course, but Saint tells it skilfully and, like Miller and Haynes, gives a twist to familiar myth by offering the perspective of women characters' - The Sunday TimesAs Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace.

The Minotaur - Minos's greatest shame and Ariadne's brother - demands blood every year. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods - drawing their attention can cost you everything.

In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne's decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover's ambition?ARIADNE gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths, and speaks to their strength in the face of angry, petulant Gods. Beautifully written and completely immersive, this is an exceptional debut novel. Praise for Jennifer Saint and ARIADNE:'Exquisitely written and exceptionally moving, this is a mythical retelling to savour.' - Elodie Harper, author of THE WOLF DEN'ARIADNE gives voice to the misused Princess of Crete who betrayed her father to save Theseus from the Minotaur.

Relevant and revelatory.' - Stylist'With her wonderfully executed debut that reimagines the classic tale of Theseus, Adriane and the Minotaur, Jennifer Saint joins the likes of Madeline Miller and Pat Barker in forging mesmerising retellings of ancient Greek myths from a female perspective.' - Waterstones.com'Saint's immersive novel thrusts the reader straight into the heart of Greek mythology with this wonderful reimagining of the story of Ariadne.' - iPaper'What happens after the monster is defeated and the princess leaves with the hero? Jennifer Saint's ARIADNE is a shimmering tapestry of two sisters bound by deceit and the shadows of family history. . .With a fresh voice and keen insight, Saint adds flesh and bone to an ancient myth, drawing the reader into an uneasy world of ever-afters.' - Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author of THE NIGHT TIGER
