Christa Wolf’s greatest, already canonised work: Cassandra, the seer, the most interesting female character in all of Greek mythology. Christa Wolf turns her into one of our contemporaries in a most fascinating way: A heroine who gets defeated in the end, yet who remains loyal to her own principles and continues to rebel against the violence unleashed by the dictatorship and the power of men.
