In her captivating retelling of the myth, Jeanette Winterson explores the plight of Atlas, condemned by the gods to bear an eternal burden. Hope emerges with an unexpected visit from Heracles, the only one strong enough to share his weight, leading to a potential bargain that could offer freedom. Through this narrative, Winterson delves into profound themes of choice and coercion.
