About This Item
London: Kestre Books, 1970. Third Impression, 1976 . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, showing no marks or wear. The blue covers are fresh, with just a bit of wear at the top and bottom of the spine. The dust jacket is not price-clipped and is also in very good condition, again with minor wear at the top and bottom of the spine. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: This is a new re-telling of the Greek myths. "It makes, out of these original stories, a piece of fresh, continuous fiction. Many great myths, so often detached from their context, have their place in the huge, dazzling sequence of this tale: the creation myth, the stories of the flood, of Prometheus, Persephone, Sisyphus, and many others. But they are brought together as part of a continuous narrative ... from the making of the gods to the making of man, and on to the conflicts among the gods themselves as they seek to be masters of their own fragile, unmanageable creations.
