Perseus and Andromeda

Perseus and Andromeda, waar gaat het boek over?An epic poem in blank versePerseus and Andromeda, written in a classic English verse style, tells the heroic and romantic tale of love and hardship between a half-god and a beautiful princess. The style and story-telling qualities of the lengthy narrative poem take the reader through a compelling and sometimes philosophical journey, dealing with emotional subjects such as unconquerable fate and vigorous hope according to the ancient mythology. It shall in its structure and imagery speak to the very heart of many fervent lovers of both classical epic tales, and heroic verse as it was done by famous poets in various ages before. Perseus and Andromeda is a beautiful voyage through the world of legendary Gods and heroes, woven in an intelligent allegorical style. Over de auteur Jael Hanssen Jael Hanssen adores older verse styles, such as the style that this poem is written in, and enjoys to make somewhat of an effort to bring them back to the contemporary reader. Blank verse to him conveys all sorts of emotions and meanings, and utilising that power himself gave him the opportunity to set a satisfying scene and stage for the ancient story of Perseus and Andromeda, and to deliver its message and moral to the modern world. Many thoughts and considerations in this epic poem revolve around both the compelling voice of love, and the menace of remorseless fate.
