"I got used to the smell of death." So begins the story of Clytemnestria about her life after her husband left her - Agamemnon, who went to conquer Troy. Immortal ancient Greek myth of the Trojan hero Agamemnon, his unfaithful wife Clytemnestra, for their children, whose fate determined irreversible actions of parents, captured more than two thousand years ago, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and the whole subsequent history of mankind to retell and reinterpreted these destinies and stories . In the novel House of Names, Colm Toibin succeeded in discovering the completely new sound of the ancient tragedy about Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, Electra and Orestes, and filling in the gaps in the classic biographies of these heroes, and giving them unsolved moral dilemmas to modern shades and depth, and writing exciting and the creepy detective in the ancient Greek scenery. Toibin leads along insidious labyrinths of memory, either false, or frighteningly honest, along the paths of words that can be interpreted in five different ways — and someone's life will depend on the choice of interpretation every time — and the fateful decisions always follow. This is a story about how one betrayal entails another, how one murder turns into a chain of murders, how condemnation and justification go hand in hand.

Press about the book
The misfortunes of Agamemnon and his family are considered in the world literature from all sides. But Colm Toibin managed to show the classic tragedy in a different perspective. In his new novel, he immerses the reader in that part of the story that comes from the murder of Iphigenia to the murder of Clytemnestra, evoking a response quite different from respecting the aura of classicism. The combination of discreet style and keen observation leads the plot from operatic bombast to deep human tragedy. Mary Bird

Toibin's prose is perfect and hypnotic. In his statement, the horrors of the Greek tragedy are devoid of sensationalism, and from this they amaze even more. Tobin writes portraits of inexorable and inevitable - the true heroines of this classic story. The narrative is calm and harsh and therefore more powerful. Gorgeous romance. The providence journal

Despite the fact that this story has many centuries, it has not lost its relevance. Toibin turned out to be a tense and very modern story about a woman who fell into the trap of her own aspirations and political restrictions in which a woman had to act. Colm Tobin presents such a wide range of artistic possibilities for the first time; his transitions from the terrible to the serene are worthy of comparison with the immortal Greek dramaturgy. Washington post
