Présentation de l'éditeur :
Taking as her start point, Ovid's story about Leto, who pregnant by Jupiter flees the wrath of his wife Juno, Marina Warner adapts the tale to a wild and lawless time, when young Leto, on the run from her lover's wife, gives birth to twins. She saves the baby girl, but the boy is snatched from her. Over the centuries, we find Leto searching for her son. As the novel sweeps from mythological times and the Dark Ages, to the urban squalor of Victorian Europe, and ultimately to the present day, as wars still rage across the region where Ovid first imagined her, Leto reappears, with her daughter, in different guises - as singer, artist, maid, Bosnian refugee.A magical feat of storytelling, full of myth and mystery, sensual writing and suspense, which keeps the reader guessing right up to the end. (2000-09-14)
Présentation de l'éditeur :
When a mummy in the Museum of Albion is unpacked it is found to contain a bundle of curious objects and documents which tell of the wanderings of an unknown woman, Leto.
On the run, in a far-off era of civil strife, Leto gives birth to twins, shelters with wolves, survives in a desert stronghold as the lover of its commander, stows away on a ship loaded with plundered antiquities and then works as a maid in a war-torn city. She loses her son but saves her daughter during a long siege.
As the novel sweeps from mythological times and the Middle Ages to the treasure-hunting of Victorian Europe and into the present day, Leto reappears in different guises. Eventually she becomes a servant to a rock singer, and begins to search for her son.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. A sensual, compelling new novel inspired by dramatic chronicles, contemporary events, and the tragic figure of a woman-goddess in permanent exile Room XIX of the Museum of Albion doesn't usually have many visitors. But when a huge crowd of dispossessed immigrants and homeless gather to see a mummy that has recently been moved, political pressure mounts, and the curator must reveal the mystery behind the locked door. To the passionate young man who has adopted the mummy as a figurehead, the curator explains that the once secret exhibit is a bundle of rare objects and intriguing documents that tell of the wanderings of an unknown woman named Leto. Marina Warner's magical new novel weaves together the story of this ancient goddess and eternal refugee with the drama of the curator, her new friend, and the people whose lives will be transformed by THE LETO BUNDLE. As Leto moves westward across the map from her first home, she slips through time, reappearing in different guises and ever on the run. She gives birth to twins during a far-off era of civil strife, shelters with wolves, stows away on a ship, works as a chambermaid in a war-torn city, and, in a bombing attack, saves her daughter but loses her son. The novel sweeps from mythological times to the Middle Ages, to Victorian Europe, and then to the present day, when Leto reappears, still searching, of course, for her long-lost son. As new, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust cover. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} BUND. N° de réf. du vendeur 023677
