Kirké - CDmp3 (Čte Petra Špalková)

The famous beauty through today's eyes When she was born, there was no name for what she was. They named her Circe and called her a nymph because she was supposed to be like the others. But little Circe is different because she has no divine power. She is tormented by the taunts of her siblings: what use is a nymph with a human voice in the realm of gods? Only the love for a human awakens in her the magical power that can turn people into gods and gods into monsters. As punishment, Zeus banishes her to the island of Aiaia, where she lives for hundreds of years only in the company of animals and nymphs. Ships full of sailors arrive at the shores, and for their violence, Circe turns them into pigs. When the hero Odysseus arrives, even Circe herself transforms, as she finally must choose where she truly belongs. To the realm of gods or the world of mortals? The book reached number 1 on The New York Times bestseller list, was nominated for best book of the year by over 26 publications, and won the Best Book of 2018 award on Goodreads (Fantasy category), with nearly double the number of votes compared to the next in line. interpreter: Petra Špalková length of recording: 16 hours 41 minutes
