Hyperborea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781590929445)

Hyperborea was the "Land beyond the North Wind" for the Ancient Greeks. Was it real to them and does that matter? Our mythology often shapes our reality despite the assumption that only the reserve is true.

For Ada Ludenow, Hyperborea is the land beyond human company--a realm sometimes called solitude and sometimes called loneliness. Like most places--both real and imagined, both literal and mystical--Hyperborea changes over time. Its topography is written in the brush-strokes of love, grief, language, and routine. And its creator? Ada. And, in equal measure, not Ada at all.
