Chansons De Bilitis
by Pierre Louÿs
'Chansons De Bilitis' Summary
Les Chansons de Bilitis sont des poèmes écrits par Pierre Louÿs et présentés comme des découvertes de manuscrits anciens. Ces poèmes racontent la vie de Bilitis, une poétesse fictive qui aurait vécu sur l'île de Lesbos et qui aurait été une rivale de Sappho. Bilitis se serait également rendue à Chypre pour y rencontrer d’autres femmes. Les poèmes sont remplis d'images et d'évocations sensuelles, décrivant les désirs et les passions de Bilitis pour d’autres femmes. Le livre joue avec l'idée de la découverte, de l'authenticité et de la fabrication de la vérité à travers des références fictives et des allusions, créant un mystère autour de l'existence de Bilitis. La préface du livre, rédigée par Pierre Louÿs, contribue à la construction de l'illusion de la découverte de ces poèmes, créant ainsi une intrigue qui incite le lecteur à interroger la réalité de l'histoire de Bilitis.Book Details
