The burden: the myth of the Atlas and Hercules. Winteron D.

The story of Janet Winterson “The burden” is not just the Ancient Myth of the Titan Atlas, who rebelled against the gods, and was doomed to forever support the world on his shoulders. This is an autobiographical story about loneliness and alienation, about responsibility and heavy burden... and about genuine freedom and overcoming the boundaries of my own “I”. “The one who writes the book always flaunts himself,” notes Janet Winteron. “But this does not mean at all that as a result, we will certainly get confession or memoirs.” It will just be real. ”
