Les naissances de la femme. les mythes de la création du Cercle polaire à l’Océanie.
Creators: Jean-Pierre Otte
| Contents/Chapters: After Les Aubes sauvages and Les Aubes enchantées, Jean-Pierre Otte takes us on a journey through the world of origins, in search of the births of women. From the Arctic Circle to Oceania, from the Americas to Black Africa, this wild mythology underscores the audacity, mystery and multiple facets of woman. Here she forms in the undulating limbs of the octopus or in the flesh of the mango, offering herself naked to the storm or descending sexlessly from the stars. In an enchanted kaleidoscope, we are told of fascinations, incest, sacrifices and strange fertilizations... A whole era of dreams in which women found in the metamorphoses of love advantages that were not always easy to admit. Each of these rediscovered myths is a model of creation, a law of harmony and an invitation to love. | Material: 304 p.; no illustrations; 20.5 cm
