Лавиния

Ei ole ringlust

"Lavinia" is the last novel by Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in 2008. It was awarded the Locus Literary Award for Best Fantasy Novel (2009).
The hero of Virgil's "Aeneid" fights for the right to possess the daughter of King... Latinus, with whom he is destined to found an empire. However, Lavinia is dedicated to only a few lines in the poem. In Ursula K. Le Guin's novel, Lavinia gains a voice: she tells the story of her life—from a young girl, who becomes the cause of a bloody war, but stubbornly follows her chosen fate, to maturity, filled with the joy of motherhood and the bitterness of loss.
Lavinia realizes that she is a character in the poem and converses with the "poet" who invented her and the other characters, who tells his heroine about her future: in the interplay of these two voices across time, two perspectives on the world are compared.
