HTML:<p>In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece -- the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen -- the gift of life. Now his wife, Galatea is expected to be obedience and humility personified, but it is not long before she learns to use her beauty as a form of manipulation. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost...</p> <p>Pygmalion's story has moved millions through the centuries, inspiring George Bernard Shaw's <em>Pygmalion</em>, and later the beloved musical <em>My Fair Lady</em>. Ecco is proud to publish Orange Prize-winning author Madeline Miller's E-book original short story <em>Galatea</em> which will appear in the forthcoming anthology <em>xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths</em> to be published in October. This retelling of the Pygmalion myth from the statue's perspective is a tale that will make readers rethink how they relate to the great myths of our time.</p>.
