Summary
Chingiz Ajtmatov: Kassandra's Beleg
Kassandra from the title of this novel is not the sweet, small, black-haired and chubby circus dancer from the Latin series of the same name, which is repeated for the xth time in the last 20 years, on the 66 cable channels that we have today. No, it's a girl a couple of millennia older, the daughter of the Trojan King Priam, who, just like in the Latin series, dared and refused Apollo's love (i.e. sex), so she was given the gift of seeing the future by the god in question... but no one believed her!
