Overview

Nixandra: Goddess of Beauty is a lyrical, philosophical, and mythopoetic novel that transcends the traditional forms of the epic tale to venture into the most intimate territories of human experience. Narrated through the voice of a nameless soldier, this work portrays the fall of a celestial figure - Nixandra - whose beauty unleashes wars, odes, hymns, betrayals, and acts of devotion, while she herself remains silent, gentle, untamed, and essentially free. She is not merely the Goddess of Beauty. She is woman, child, sister, future mother, lover, and a creature of flesh and thought. She is a contradictory symbol: of fire and snow, of tenderness and chaos, of longing and detachment. Her very existence renders war obsolete and redefines love as a form of absolute respect and shared freedom. Enrique García Guasco presents here a timeless and profoundly human work, where beauty is not merely seen with the eyes, but perceived with the soul; where poetry is not embellishment, but vital structure. Echoing Hellenic myths, modern tragedy, and existentialist philosophy, Nixandra is a meditation on love, violence, duty, desire, freedom, and eternity. This edition includes articles on the book by Eleanor Pindor and Günther Glanks.
