Antigonick 1. udgave

Now in paperback, Anne Carson's modern translation of Antigone

Hegel writes in his Aesthetics: ?The Antigone is one of the most sublime and in every respect most excellent works of art of all time.? Simone Weil writes in a notebook: ?Great literary works: veils drawn in front of truth, but transparent veils. Electra. Antigone. Antigone also doubts ?? Here is Sophokles? sublime tragedy, unveiled in ecstatic English ? at once playful and serious ? and freshly penned in Anne Carson?s rendition.

Chorus: But of course there is hope look here comes hope
            wandering in
            to tickle your feet
