Kurzbeschreibung

In Ladies' ten signature paintings and numerous drawings, Boris Vallejo depicts the magic time when goddesses roamed the earth; they are the perfect accompaniment to Doris Vallejo's poetic and chilling retelling of ten classic tales. This is myth transfigured by a modern sensibility: retelling mythic tales from the points of view of the goddesses, heroines, sorceresses, princesses, wives, and daughters. Readers see Persephone, condemned by a god's adoration to live six months of each year in the kingdom of death; the Gorgon, a great beauty transformed into monstrosity by her own longing to be loved; Apollo's mortal bride, Coronis, left behind each time her godly husband returned to the heavens; and Pandora, who discovered knowledge no mortal was meant to have and paid the price.

Good stories and art 10. April 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
If you know a little about mythology it will be interesting to read about the same tales in the point of view of the goddesses. I liked the story from the eyes of the gorgons epsecially. But if you are looking for a great collection of art by Boris Vallejo, I suggest getting yourself "Mirage" or "Fantasy Art Techniques". "Ladies" only has about 10 colored paintings and maybe 20 pencil drawings. The paintings aren't nearly as beautiful as in his other books. (but you may like them more if you are interested in mythology) Many of the figures have big 80's-looking hair that just doesn't look good. (as do several figures in "Dreams")They do not look well-planned. But if you are a fan of Boris Vallejo, you should get this book to add to your collection.

Nice artwork, human retellings 14. November 2008
Von Christopher R. Travers - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Personally, I am not a big fan of retellings of myths. Generally, I find that a lot of the structural meaning of the myths are lost in such retellings. Perhaps a large part of the problem is that I tend to read myths differently than most people.

Having said this, this book retells the myths in some fairly impressive ways, adding a great deal of the author's sense of humanity to them. These are not the old mythic tales but are better seen as new written stories based on the old tellings. The stories are well done.

The artwork is also amazing. I would give this 5 stars here and recommend this for anyone looking at new stories based on the old myths.

Delightful 27. Mai 2001
Von Dr. Lee D. Carlson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has magnificent drawings and paintings and the stories are well-written. Definitely a choice for Vallejo fans as it is a good sampling of his ability. "Deianira" is my favorite for sure, and the reader will find Persephone, Gorgon, Ariadne, Coronis, Medea, Circe, Eurydice, Arachne, and Pandora. Some consider Vallejo's drawings sexist, but I consider them to be symbolic of the beauty and complexity of women, and that is true in the fantasy world as well as reality.
