Sobre El Autor
Robert Graves (also known as Robert Ranke Graves) was born in 1895 in London and served in World War I. Goodbye to All That: an Autobiography (1929), was published at age thirty three, and gave a gritty portrait of his experiences in the trenches. Graves edited out much of the stark reality of the mostrar más book when he revised it in 1957. Although his most popular works, I, Claudius (1934) and its sequel, Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina (1935), were produced for television by the BBC in 1976 and seen in America on Masterpiece Theater, he was also famous as a poet, producing more than 50 volumes of poetry. Graves was awarded the 1934 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for both I, Claudius and Claudius the God. Also a distinguished academic, Graves was a professor of English in Cairo, Egypt, in 1926, a poetry professor at Oxford in the 1960s, and a visiting lecturer at universities in England and the U.S. He wrote translations of Greek and Latin works, literary criticism, and nonfiction works on many other topics, including mythology and poetry. He lived most of his life in Majorca, Spain, and died after a protracted illness in 1985. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas
La diosa blanca por Robert Graves
Ensayo erudito y apasionado, reconstruye el lenguaje mágico de la Europa antigua mediterránea y septentrional, vinculado a ceremonias religiosas populares en honor a la diosa Luna. Graves nos narra cómo en Europa y Oriente Próximo existían culturas matriarcales que adoraban a una Diosa Suprema y que reconocían a los dioses masculinos solo como sus hijos, consortes o víctimas para el sacrificio. Estas culturas fueron eliminadas por la irrupción del patriarcado que arrebató a las mujeres su autoridad, elevó a los consortes de la Diosa a una posición de supremacía divina y reconstruyó mitos y rituales para ocultar el pasado. La conquista patriarcal llegó a Britania y al resto de Europa occidental alrededor del 400 a. de C. En "La Diosa Blanca", Graves mezcla distintos géneros para, a través de los bosques mitológicos de medio mundo, sumergirnos en los antecedentes históricos, tribales y místicos de la poesía, pasando de las mitologías griegas a las simbologías panteístas y naturalistas de los bardos celtas, para terminar, satirizando a la sociedad contemporánea. Es su libro más personal, un ensayo inteligente que muestra la originalidad de Robert Graves y que resulta imprescindible para comprender su obra y su manera de pensar. La presente y definitiva edición de "La Diosa Blanca" la ha llevado a cabo el profesor Grevel Lindop a partir de la última versión y apuntes del autor para la de 1961.… (más)
He tenido que dejar de leer esta obra por el uso de topónimos y órdenes actualizados. No usa los nombres romanos, los del momento de la acción, siendo estos de sobra conocidos ya que existe una literatura enormemente prolija y extensa. El autor lo advierte en el inicio del libro, pero no esperaba que fuera tan nefasto. Una pena, pero no puedo seguir leyéndolo.
Tiene un buen principio, pero la lectura se hace muy farragosa cuando interpreta varios aspectos bíblicos o religiosos, como si fuese un estudio religioso. Con la aparición del personaje de Jesús esto se acentúa haciendo la lectura muy difícil y fatigosa.
