Kassandra
Book • 1983
In this novel, Christa Wolf reimagines the Trojan War through the eyes of Cassandra, a seeress cursed by Apollo to foresee the future but never to be believed.
The story is presented as an internal monologue in stream-of-consciousness style, as Cassandra reflects on her past, her relationships, and the events leading to the destruction of Troy.
The novel explores themes of feminism, the marginalization of women, and the critique of patriarchal societies.
It also parallels Wolf's own experiences living in East Germany during the Cold War, highlighting issues of censorship, repression, and the struggle for truth in a society dominated by powerful men.
