C’est la guerre des femmes, tout autant que celle des hommes. Elles ont attendu assez longtemps leur tour…

Cette histoire n’a jamais été celle d’une femme ou de deux. C’est l’histoire de toutes…

Au milieu de la nuit, une femme se réveille et découvre sa ville bien-aimée en proie aux flammes. Dix années apparemment interminables de conflit entre les Grecs et les Troyens sont terminées. Troie est tombée.

Des Troyennes dont le destin est désormais entre les mains des Grecs, à la princesse amazone qui a combattu Achille en leur nom, en passant par Pénélope qui attend le retour d’Ulysse et les trois déesses dont la querelle a tout déclenché, voici les histoires des femmes dont les vies, les amours et les rivalités ont été à jamais modifiées par cette longue et tragique guerre.

Épopée féminine, puissamment imprégnée d’une vie nouvelle, Mille navires place les femmes, les jeunes filles et les déesses au centre du plus grand récit jamais raconté dans le monde occidental.

This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .

This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .

In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.

From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war.

A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.

Media

“With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War. Her thoughtful portraits will linger with you long after the book is finished.” – Madeline Miller, author of Circe

A Thousand Ships does more than acknowledge the suffering of women. It tells in lively fashion gripping tales of bravery, treachery and revenge. . . . It’s a timely notion as the modern world reckons with who gets to tell the stories of its diverse populations.” – Washington Post

“Savvy and well plotted.… Haynes’s inventiveness in conjuring the lives of Greek and Trojan women through… evocative details keeps the novel humming.” – New York Times Book Review

“Absorbing and fiercely feminist . . . this subversive re-seeing of the classics is a many-layered delight.” – Guardian

“A witty, unapologetically feminist story of women’s suffering, courage, and endurance… Haynes’ freshly modern version of an ancient tale is perfect for our times.” – Booklist

“An enthralling reimagining of the lives of women from both Troy and Greek culture. . . . Haynes shines by twisting common perceptions of the Trojan War and its aftermath in order to capture the women’s experiences.” – Publishers Weekly

“Clever and entertaining.” – Times, UK

“Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories.” – Telegraph, UK

“This lively reinvention [of the Trojan War] is worth the journey.” – Library Journal
