Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
“Do not mistake the rule of force
for true power. Men are not shaped by force.”
(~ The Bacchae by Euripides, Penguin Classics, 2001)
[Note: Euripides is one of my all-time favourite authors, since I was in high school and obliged (!) to learn how to translate from Ancient Greek. This tragedy was one of many (quite clumsy, I have to admit) attempts – but it stayed with me over the years because of its extraordinary modernity, the strength of the characters and the beauty of its verses. Incidentally – doesn’t the quote sound like something from House of Cards?]
