SYNOPSIS
From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of The Song of Achilles and Circe, an enchanting short story that boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion.
A small hardback edition featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller
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, he expects Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified.
But she has desires of her own, and yearns for independence. 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...
Praise for CIRCE:
'A thrilling tour de force of imagination' Mail on Sunday'
'A bold and subversive retelling' New York Times
'A novel to be gobbled greedily in one sitting' Observer
'A remarkable achievement' Sunday Times

REVIEWS
Os mitos, as mulheres e a beleza
AMD
Miller consegue voltar a levar-nos para o mundo da mitologia grega, em versões revisitadas, com uma linguagem bela e poética. Uma boa leitura, apesar de curta.
Magnifico
Elisabete
São 20 páginas mas carregadas de significado e até profundidade. Galatea é fortíssima a todos os níveis.
Pequeno mas uma leitura sólida
Cláudia Fernandes
Este livro não foi bem o que estava à espera, depois de ler Circe e ler a sinopse deste livro estava à espera de uma aventura tipo epopeia. Para quem está à espera de uma aventura no sentido tradicional este não é o livro indicado. Este livro explora a forma sob a qual as mulheres são vistas nos mitos e histórias, mas também sobre a objetivação e abuso sofrido pelas mulheres nestas e na própria sociedade. Está é uma história bem executada, mas que nos vai deixar com um sabor amargo na boca. Gostei especialmente de ler as notas da autora, ajudaram não só a processar e digerir o conto mas também a perceber o processo que a levou à escrita deste livro .
