Decouverte Gallimard : Le chant de la sirene

(Author) Lee Child
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

Ulysse est sa première victime, mais bien des marins de l'Antiquité furent voués à une fin certaine par son chant envoûtant. La sirène tente et tue. Les vases grecs lui donnent des ailes, les bestiaires du Moyen Age une queue de poisson, la Renaissance enfin, les attributs de la luxure. Femme ou bête, le rationalisme éclairé opte pour la seconde : au XVIIIe siècle, les naturalistes la reconnaissent dans le lamantin. On la retrouve au XIXe siècle en monstre de foire et héroïne de contes avant d'être définitivement reléguée au rang de mythe. Symbole absolu de la tentation, qui est la sirène ? Séduit et passionné, Vic de Donder a traqué cet être polymorphe à travers les siècles et l'histoire.
