In myth Herakles is an embodiment of manly violence who returns home after years of making war on enemies and monsters (his famous \"Labors of Herakles\") to find he cannot adapt himself to a life of peacetime domesticity. He goes berserk and murders his whole family. Suicide is his next idea. Amazingly, this does not happen. Due to the intervention of his friend Theseus, Herakles comes to believe he is not, after all, indelibly stained by his own crimes, nor is his life without value. It remains for the reader to judge this redemptive outcome.\u003cbr\u003e \"I think there is no such thing as an innocent landscape,\" said Anselm Kiefer, painter of forests grown tall on bones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Carson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.90h x 8.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811231237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarson, Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWINNER OF THE 2026 NOBEL PRIZE \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnne Carson\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Canada.
