Venus, tells her life story.
Gods, heroes, and myths... Writers give voice to legendary figures who haunt them. Do these voices, from far away in time, not still speak to us today? This is the challenge of this collection, which is also a journey through painting.
You know Venus. You know that she is the goddess of love. You have seen the paintings she has inspired by many painters, extolling her incomparable beauty.
But do you know her life? Do you know who she loved? What she did? Venus speaks in a fictional autobiography in which she recounts her adventures, her struggles, her misfortunes, her dreams, and her joys. Because we must know how to understand what certain authors of Antiquity may have written about her.
Venus invites us to follow her in her tumultuous quest for freedom and truth, the long work of women...
Even the goddess of love has the right to exist.
