Kıskançlık, Fransız yazar Marcel Proust’un edebiyat tarihine damgasını vuran Kayıp Zamanın İzinde adlı yedi ciltten oluşan nehir romanının beşinci cildi Mahpus’tan seçtiğimiz çok çarpıcı bir bölüm. Fonunda, aristokrasinin çöküşü ve orta sınıfın yükselişi dönemine denk gelen Üçüncü Cumhuriyet yönetimi altında gerçekleşen büyük toplumsal değişimlerin yer aldığı romanın bu bölümü, kıskançlık duygusunun en karanlık yanlarını ve yıkıcı etkilerini ustalıkla ele aldığı satırlarıyla bütünden farklılaşıyor. Yazar olmak isteyen Marcel âşık olduğu Albertine’in kendisinin Paris’teki burjuva evine taşınmasını sağlamış ancak kendisi de arzunun ve kıskançlığın pençesine düşmüştür. Neden sürekli birbirimizi sınama ve sahiplenme eğiliminde oluruz, kıskançlık ölümden bile güçlü müdür gibi sorulara yanıt arayan Kıskançlık, Proust’un derin psikolojik gözlemlerine, zengin betimlemelerine aşina olanlar için bir hatırlatma, yeni başlayacak olanlar içinse tadımlık.

The follow-up to Pat Barker's Number One bestseller THE WOMEN OF TROY Continuing the story of the captured Trojan women as they set sail for Mycenae with the victorious Greeks, this new novel centres on the fate of Cassandra -- daughter of King Priam, priestess of Apollo, and a prophet condemned never to be heeded. (When she refuses to have sex with Apollo, after he has kissed her, granting her the gift of true prophecy, he spits in her mouth to make sure she will never be believed.) Psychologically complex and dangerously driven, Cassandra's arrival in Mycenae will set in motion a bloody train of events, drawing in King Agamemnon, his wife Clytemnestra and daughter Electra. Agamemnon's triumphant return from Troy is far from the celebration he imagined, and the fate of the Trojan women as uncertain as they had feared.
