À propos de cette écoute

 C. S. Lewis reworks the timeless myth of Cupid and Psyche into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction in this novel about the struggle between sacred and profane love.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery.

Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

    "In Mr. Lewis's sensitive hands the ancient myth retains its fascination while being endowed with new meanings, new depths, new terrors." (Saturday Review)

    "Whenever Nadia May reads, a sensation of comfort creeps into the atmosphere. Her vocal clarity and understanding of the author's meaning bring pleasure and even security to the listening of each work." (AudioFile)

    "The most significant and triumphant work that Lewis has...produced." (New York Herald Tribune)

    These retellings of the Cupid and Psyche myth give shape to one of the novels I've read that is best at giving the reader an internal perspective of someone living in the Ancient world. You can see that it's written by someone passionate about and fond of the Ancient world. Reading the book is almost a time capsule, the modern mindset, sensibilities and mundaneness don't really make an appearance in it.

    "Time-travel" to the Ancient world
