Summary: In this volume, the distinguished East German writer Christa Wolf retells the story of the fall of Troy, but from the point of view of the woman whose visionary powers earned her contempt and scorn. Written as a result of the author's Greek travels and studies, "Cassandra" speaks to us in a pressing monologue whose inner focal points are patriarchy and war. In the four accompanying pieces, which take the form of travel reports, journal entries, and a letter, Wolf describes the novel's genesis. Incisive and intelligent, the entire volume represents an urgent call to examine the past in order to insure a future.

Back cover: 'Cassandra is a powerful recreation of classical myth... She is believable, alive and shuddering with the author's obsession with her." - The Times Cassandra, daughter of the King of Troy, is endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated never to be believed. Troy has fallen, her father has been killed, and Cassandra is being taken back to Greece as booty by Agamemnon, King of Mycenae. Knowing that death awaits her there, Cassandra confronts her own history, comes to an understanding of her life in the patriarchal world and a recognition that in war there is no real difference between the conqueror and the conquered. The genesis of this marvelous reinterpretation of the Cassandra story lies in the accompanying travel reports, diary entrees and letters exploring such subjects as nuclear war, language, patriarchy and women's place in ancient and modern civilizations. The context is contemporary, yet Cassandra's voice pervades them all.
