Gender Swapped Greek Myths

內容簡介

內容簡介 如果有一天，經典神話中的角色彼此對調性別？想像一下，美艷的男海妖，總是引誘勇敢的女英雄們航向死亡；Icara和她媽媽，披上自製的翅膀，飛到離太陽越來越近的地方；而清秀的男子，被迫成為貢品獻給地下世界的女王...幾千年來，經典神話不斷被口耳相傳。殘暴和勇敢是男人：邪惡和無助是女人。直到今日，這些神話仍不斷塑造一代代人們對於正義、悲劇、和英雄的想法。在前作《Gender Swapped Fairy Tales》全球熱銷爆紅後，作著Karrie和Jonathan再次推出簡單優雅的創意之作！他們深深為古典神話著迷，但想換個角度，為這些故事注入全新生命！ 沒有改寫劇情、仍然照著結局走、角色特質也沒有改變。作者做的，只是轉換了人物性別。而讀者們會非常驚訝的發現，從此進入一個回不去的奇異世界！‘Thought-provoking and charmingly rendered.’ GuardianImagine a world where seductive male sirens lure brave heroines to their death, where Icara and her mother fly too close to the sun, and where beautiful men are forced to wed underworld queens…For thousands of years, Greek myths have been told and retold. In these stories, brutality and bravery are reserved for men, while women are wicked witches or helpless maidens. Today, these myths continue to shape our ideas about justice, tragedy and what makes a hero’s journey. Karrie and Jonathan love these stories, and have found a way to breathe new life into them by making one crucial change…Following the incredible success of Gender Swapped Fairy Tales they have taken that same simple step. They haven’t rewritten the stories in this book. They haven’t reimagined the endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders.You’ll be enchanted by the refreshing world this swap creates – and thunderstruck by the new characters you’re about to discover."
