Description

Helena by Yannis Ritsos A poignant exploration of memory and identity, this collection of monologues brings to life the story of Helena, an ancient figure whose experiences continue to resonate with women today. Through her words, we glimpse the inner world of a woman who has known both love and abandonment, and find ourselves drawn into a profound meditation on the human condition. Ritsos's masterful prose strips away the myth to reveal the vulnerability and depth of this iconic character, making her feel disturbingly familiar in our own time. This is the latest addition to Selma Ancira's series of dramatic monologues, showcasing Ritsos's unique voice and skill as a poet. With its spare yet powerful language, Helena offers a deeply moving portrayal of a woman's life, one that will linger with readers long after they finish reading.
