Thrown from Mount Olympus as a newborn and caught by Thetis and Eurynome, who raised him on the island of Lemnos, Hephaistos had an aptitude for creating beautiful objects from a very young age. Despite his rejection from Olympus, he swallowed his anger and spent his days perfecting his craft. His exquisitely forged gifts and weapons earned him back his seat in the heavens, but he was not treated as an equal―his brothers and sisters looked down at him for his lame leg, and even his own wife, Aphrodite, was disloyal. In this installment of the bestselling Olympians graphic novel series, witness Hephaistos’ wrath as he creates a plan that’ll win him the respect he deserves.

★ Faber Stories經典選篇，展現短篇小說大師最成熟的筆力★ 以黑色幽默與銳利觀察，寫出女性處境與人際關係的荒謬★ 短短篇幅，卻同時容納震撼、哀傷、寬恕與愛Faber Stories 為 Faber 推出的經典短篇系列，邀請讀者重新走進短篇小說大師們最耀眼的作品世界。本書收錄的，正是一則令人震懾又難以移開目光的故事。亞德琳活在一個保守而充滿道德框架的時代，對一個沒有孩子的女人而言，旁人最常見的「讚美」竟是：「妳一定會是個好母親。」這樣的話語既諷刺又沉重，也映照出她始終格格不入的處境。直到某次朋友家的勞動節野餐，一場突如其來的意外發生——她竟然害死了朋友的嬰兒。故事最驚人的地方，不只在於事件本身的衝擊，更在於其後層層推進的心理描寫。亞德琳從生活中退開，遠離人群，也遠離原本熟悉的一切；而當她試圖再次返回人世，讀者看見的，不只是她對周遭人物一針見血的懷疑與譏誚，更是藏在冷峻之下、對人性複雜處境的體諒。本書以極精煉的篇幅，寫出震撼人心的情感層次。尖銳、幽默、悲傷，又帶著難以言喻的溫柔，讀來像一道迅疾劃過心口的光，短暫卻留下極深的餘韻。Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: ‘You’d make a terrific mother’.
