«Kassandra» is the novel by Christa Wolf, published by Dtv in paperback (144 pages, in German).
A rewriting of the myth of Cassandra, the Trojan prophetess condemned never to be believed: while waiting captive in Agamemnon's chariot, she reviews her life and her struggle for autonomy. The narrative interweaves the Trojan War, power and the silencing of the female voice to reflect on patriarchy and women's experience in history.
The work was originally published in 1983; this Dtv edition belongs to the «Sammlung Luchterhand im dtv» collection (number 11870).
Recommended for readers of German literature, reworkings of classical myths and fiction with a feminist perspective.
Christa Wolf was a German novelist and essayist. She is considered one of the most important writers to emerge from the former East Germany.
