Synopsis "Thousand Ships "

Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020One of the Guardian's and TLS's 'Best Books of 2019'In A Thousand Ships, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes retells the story of the Trojan War from an all-female perspective, for fans of Madeline Miller and Pat Barker.This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women embroiled in the legendary war.Powerfully told from an all-female perspective, in A Thousand Ships Natalie Haynes puts the women, girls and goddesses at the centre of the story.'With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War' – Madeline Miller, author of Circe'A gripping feminist masterpiece' – Deborah Frances-White, The Guilty Feminist

Natalie Haynes es una escritora, comediante y divulgadora británica especializada en mitología y literatura clásica grecorromana. Estudió lenguas clásicas en la Universidad de Cambridge y construyó una trayectoria singular al combinar investigación académica con humor, radio y narrativa contemporánea. A través de novelas, ensayos y programas culturales para la BBC, se convirtió en una de las voces más reconocidas en la reinterpretación moderna de los mitos clásicos desde perspectivas femeninas. Su estilo destaca por acercar tragedias antiguas al lector actual sin perder complejidad histórica, demostrando que los dramas familiares griegos ya tenían suficiente caos mucho antes de existir las redes sociales.

Entre sus obras más celebradas se encuentra Las mil naves (A Thousand Ships), novela inspirada en la guerra de Troya narrada desde el punto de vista de las mujeres afectadas por el conflicto. El libro recibió gran reconocimiento internacional y fue finalista del Women’s Prize for Fiction. También destacan títulos como Stone Blind, centrado en Medusa, y Pandora’s Jar, ensayo sobre las figuras femeninas de la mitología griega. Haynes ha sido ampliamente valorada por rescatar voces olvidadas de los relatos clásicos y reinterpretarlas con inteligencia, ironía y sensibilidad contemporánea.
