Helen of Troy: The Enigma of Beauty, an Amazon Short by Margaret George (Author)
Price: $0.49 Length: 2,501 words, 11 pages
Helen of Troy: The Enigma of Beauty: While writing my novel Helen of Troy, many people asked me, “Was she really the most beautiful woman in the world?” Our fascination with beauty has not diminished one iota since the Bronze Age, and I wanted to explore that phenomenon in “Helen of Troy: The Enigma of Beauty.” Is beauty the universal currency? How much power does it give its possessor? And how much is in the eye of the beholder? And, of course, was Helen a real woman, or just an abstract ideal of pure beauty? Did she have to spend her life saying the ancient equivalent of “Don't hate me because I'm beautiful”?

Helon Habila's Waiting for An Angel is already being produced by a very dynamic Nigerian filmmaker Newton based in the UK where Helon is also based presently.
Whoa! to that. I never knew. I can hardly wait to see the movie. I love that movie - sorry, the novel - it has very vivid descriptions. I'm almost too sure the movie will top charts.
