Casandra Cassandra
E L E A S E S
María García Esperón (text) Rosario Lucas (illustration)
With an impeccable style and accessible language, María García Esperón vindicates the role of women in the Western imagination and invites young readers to explore the boundary between destiny and apathy, madness and incomprehension. With fresh energy she tells the myth of Cassandra, from the moment Apollo curses her with the ambivalent gift of clairvoyance through to the last moments of Troy and of her own life.
