- More about The Beloved of the Dawn
Franz Fühmann's retellings of four Greek myths in East Germany in 1980 explore themes of sex, love, art, beauty, politics, and power. "The Love of Goddess Eos for the Mortal Tithonos" explores the blessing and curse of transience, "Hera and Zeus" examines the divine couple's tumultuous relationship, and "Marsyas Flaying by Apollo" is a dissident political statement. Fühmann's prose is matched by Sunandini Banerjee's collages.
Format: Hardback

Franz Fühmann's subversive retellings of four Greek legends were first published in East Germany in 1980. In them, Fühmann delves into the depths of the ancient tales and makes them his own. Attuned to conflict and paradox, he sheds light on the complexities of sex and love, art and beauty, politics and power. In the title story, the love of the goddess Eos for the mortal Tithonos reveals the blessing and curse of transience, while "Hera and Zeus" probes the tumultuous relationship of the divine couple and its devastating consequences for a world embroiled in war. Fühmann's unflinching account of Marsyas' flaying by Apollo has been widely read as a dissident political statement that has lost none of its incisive force. At times charged with sensuality, and at others honed to a keen analytical edge, Fühmann's shimmering prose is matched by Sunandini Banerjee's exquisite collages.
