À propos de ce contenu audio

 This #1 New York Times bestseller is a "bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story" that brilliantly reimagines the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey (Alexandra Alter, TheNew York Times).

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

    "Circe,' [is] a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story that manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right."—Alexandra Alter, New York Times
    "One of the most amazing qualities of this novel [is]: We know how everything here turns out - we've known it for thousands of years - and yet in Miller's lush reimagining, the story feels harrowing and unexpected. The feminist light she shines on these events never distorts their original shape; it only illuminates details we hadn't noticed before."—Ron Charles, Washington Post
    "[Miller] gives voice to Circe as a multifaceted and evolving character...'Circe' is very pleasurable to read, combining lively versions of familiar tales and snippets of other, related standards with a highly psychologized, redemptive and ultimately exculpatory account of the protagonist herself."—Claire Messud, New York Times Book Review
    "The story of Circe's entanglement with Odysseus lasts far beyond the narrative of "The Odyssey," making for compelling material to revisit. But ultimately it's as a character that Circe stands apart....Through her elegant, psychologically acute prose, Miller gives us a rich female character who inhabits the spaces in between."
    —Colleen Abel, Minneapolis Star Tribune
    "Miller's lush, gold-lit novel - told from the perspective of the witch whose name in Greek has echoes of a hawk and a weaver's shuttle - paints another picture: of a fierce goddess who, yes, turns men into pigs, but only because they deserve it."—NPR.org
    "so vivid, so layered, you could get lost in it... Whether or not you think you like Greek Mythology, this is just great storytelling. It feels cinematic."— NPR's Here & Now
    "Spellbinding..Miller has created a daring feminist take on a classic narrative; although the setting is a mystical world of gods, monsters, and nymphs, the protagonist at its heart is like any of us."—O Magazine
    "Miller's spell builds slowly, but by the last page you'll be in awe. In prose of dreamlike simplicity, she reimagines the myth of Circe."—People
    "Miller, with her academic bona fides and born instinct for storytelling, seamlessly grafts modern concepts of selfhood and independence to her mystical reveries of smoke and silver, nectar and bones."—Entertainment Weekly

    Ce récit centré autour du personnage de Circé nous offre une réécriture du mythe mais nous fait aussi passer par de très nombreux épisodes des mythes antiques dont j'étais passionnée à l'adolescence. Mais nul besoin de les connaître pour en profiter et au pire il y a un pdf des personnages fourni. On rencontre non seulement Circé mais Ulysse (Odysseus sur la version anglaise), Hermès, Zeus, Prométhéus et encore une palanquée d'autres.

    N'mporte quelle femme saine d'esprit bondira à chaque insulte qui est faite à ce personnage du fait de son sexe, c'est insupportable mais bon ces histoires datent un peu. Par contre l'auteure prend clairement le parti de son personnage et elle est tellement riche, détaillée, nuancée, franchement c'est vraiment un plaisir.

    On découvre vraiment un personnage intéressant toujours dépictée sous une forme négative et cette fois présentée sous un jour plus subtil. Eh bien ça vaut le détour. Peut-être pas au point d'être aussi enthousiaste que comme sur Booktube mais c'était pas mal tout de même et la narratrice américaine était excellente, on avait l'impression d'entendre Circé s'indigner.

    Très jolie interprétation du mythe de Circé

    My prior knowledge of the story of Circe was (as I’m sure is the case of many) limited to her portrayal in The Odyssey. She is often maligned, deemed to be evil and ruthless. She is treated as having contempt for men and as a sexual predator, is regularly treated as their downfall.

    While some aspects of this history are included in this telling, I much prefer this version as imagined by Miller. As with “The Song of Achilles” there is reason and depth to the understanding of relationships. There is a more profound understanding of the reasons as to why Circe sought to defend herself and she is a much more sympathetic character. In much the way that previous histories of Circe were written by men who instantly blame female defence as capriciousness, who trade understanding women for writing them off as evil or mad, Miller’s tale is more nuanced and gives greater effort to understand the character of Circe and how and why she was maligned.

    I truly loved this story and would highly recommend it. Miller’s storytelling is so warm and enjoyable, and the history is spun in a far more believable and acceptable way. I look forward to seeing what subject Miller’s learnedness broaches next.

    A wonderful interpretation

    Elegant, fluid narration by Perdita Weeks.

    Great job from the author, Madeline Miller, in bringing demi-god sorceress Circe back to life, humanizing (pun intended) some of her choices and avoiding following the usual tale of the witch that is portrayed in many book as a capricious and jealous woman, blindedbu her desires. Well done and an interesting take. Really liked it.

    Great (re) telling of some of the classic myths

    This telling draws on the Greek myths you probably know some of and fleshes them out from the point of view of Helios’ daughter. Quite beautifully told with a gentle ladies voice it captivated me as the listener

    Filling out the myths beautifully

    The story is as magical as the narrator’s voice. A perfect mix and a perfect story. Best to read after A Song of Achilles.

    Excellent!

    Greek mythology takes us back to the roots of our roots. Though a goddess, Circe is so very human. Much food for thought.

    Such a beautiful story, enchantingly narrated!
