Once celebrated as the author of the bestselling antifascist novel The Seventh Cross, Anna Seghers was largely forgotten within Anglo-American letters during the Cold War era. The release of archival materials since 1990 has made possible Helen Fehervary's critical reassessment of Seghers's life and work, one that challenges formerly held assumptions about the Cold War. Fehervary presents a fascinating portrait of Seghers, a German Jewish writer whose inherently political prose is imbued with traditions of fairy tale, biblical legend, and myth. Seeking to uncover the intellectual and artistic sources of this "mythic world," Fehervary situates Seghers's legacy within the larger context of Central European intellectual history. This is no journey into the obscure, for the people with whom Anna Seghers shared her artistic and intellectual life were truly extraordinary. Seghers was a member of the Budapest Sunday Circle (along with Georg Lukács, Karl Mannheim, and her husband, László Radványi); a lifelong friend of Bertolt Brecht; and a mentor to Heiner Müller and Christa Wolf. She also had close ties to Walter Benjamin in exile. In order to do justice to the complexities inherent in Seghers's life and to the multilayered texture of her work--neither of which can be reduced to a definitive chronological or teleological schema--Fehervary eschews the more familiar conventions of biography and instead presents a series of thematically conceived chapters. Fehervary's prodigious research relies on the over nine thousand volumes in Seghers's library; on interviews with contemporaries, family, and friends; and on heretofore unknown Hungarian texts and manuscripts. This engaging and accessible book raises large questions--about German history, modernism, Central and East European Jewry, Stalinism, the Holocaust--that go far beyond the life and work of an individual writer, questions so crucial to the twentieth century that they continue to preoccupy writers and readers today. Helen Fehervary teaches German literature at The Ohio State University.

Euripides

Outstepping the literal bounds of genre, Euripides' Helen has been referred to by scholars as both a tragedy and a comedy. In this sensitive new translation by James Michie and Colin Leach, Euripides' fragile structure of subtlety, in both timing and tone, is beautifully preserved. From the myth ascribed to the Sicilian poet Stesichorus, Helen plays on the question of two Helens: one a phantom in Troy, and the other the real Helen who remained in Egypt. A myriad of reversals, thought-provoking examples of differing orders of reality, and juxtapositions of opposites, allow Euripides to comment on the futility of war and the distinction between appearance and reality.

Helen: Patent Pending is a modern comedic retelling of Euripides' Helen, an already subversive interpretation of Greek myth's most controversial woman, Helen of Troy. Where Euripides' production tells of Helen's unexpected marooning far from home in the kingdom of Egypt, Patent Pending thrusts her into an equally distant and unfamiliar environment-- the California tech industry. When she is hired by the thriving corporation, Eidolon (alongside her...very relaxed boyfriend, Gerard), Helen thinks she's snagged the opportunity of a lifetime. Eidolon is the biggest tech company around, its CEO is a genius (if a bit mysterious) and its daring new venture--cloning technology--is poised to change humanity as everyone knows it. Everything's amazing--until she gets kidnapped. Locked in the bowels of the company, with no idea why, Helen soon realizes this job might be a bit more than she bargained for. She came for a job opportunity and got a company that's holding her prisoner, a boss who knows and wants much more than he lets on--oh, yes, and a boyfriend she needs to find. What could possibly go wrong?

Helen is a novel about ancient Greece from the age of Pericles to the end, or what was tantamount to the end, of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides wrote the history of the war and Plato wrote the dialogues which, along with the writings of Xenophon, are the main sources of what we know about Socrates and the origins of Greek philosophy. There are only a few allusions to the war in what Plato wrote and the history of Thucydides never mentions Socrates. Helen attempts to combine both the war and this new thing, this new way of looking at the world, which Socrates brought into being. Helen is the story of what Socrates was and what Athens became, the peak of ancient history and the peak of ancient, and perhaps not just ancient, thought, both of them together the origin and source of western civilization. No one has attempted to write such a novel before.The story is told through the eyes of a young woman, Helen, the daughter of the tyrant who ruled over Syracuse, the dominant city in Sicily. With the help of Herodotus, from whom she learns that there are different nations with different ways of life, a lesson which leads to the question about what the best way of life might be, she escapes the violence of her father. She finds a home with Empedocles, the pre-Socrates philosopher who for a time was the leader of the democracy in Agrigento, the second leading power in Sicily. From Empedocles she learns what the various pre-Socratics taught, but none of this satisfies her desire to understand the world. When Empedocles is forced to flee Sicily, she finds her way to Athens where she becomes the close confidant of Aspasia, the wife of Pericles. The first time she is invited to their home, she meets Socrates, the strangest man she has ever seen, and Alcibiades, who is easily the most attractive. Helen, a young woman of astonishing beauty and intelligence, is able to see everything that happens and through her relationship with Alcibiades and Socrates, to understand the real meaning of what she sees...
