Weight : The Myth of Atlas and Heracles (Unabridged)

With her typical wit and verve, Jeanette Winterson brings the story of Atlas into the twenty-first century.

Simultaneously, she asks her own difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion, and how we forge our own destiny.

Visionary and inventive, yet completely believable and relevant to our lives today, Winterson's skill in turning the familiar on its head and showing us a different truth is once more put to dazzling effect.
