  • C’est au bord du Gange que Les Contes des Sages de l’Inde prennent leur source. Ici, à chacun son chemin, son pas, son heure juste. Pendant que le pèlerin patient goûte la saveur des rêves, l’ascète rieur entend l’écho des légendes vivantes. Dieux, démons, animaux sacrés, souverains et mendiants portent une histoire et cherchent à se trouver. Le Sage, lui, écoute le chant de l’eau et sait comme le vent passe sur l’autre rive.

    Contes des sages de l'Inde
  • Voici réunis dans un même recueil des mythes cananéen, celte, égyptien, grec, indien, maya, tahitien, chinois, etc., des légendes, kirghiz, aborigène, amérindienne, orientale, des contes et récits de la Renaissance et des Lumières ainsi qu'une fiction contemporaine. A travers les vastes espaces de l’imaginaire, les "sages qui lisent dans les étoiles" contemplent un univers qui abolit le temps ; du géant Orion à la Mer de lait, un monde peuplé d’astrologues, d’alchimistes et de savants poètes. On côtoie une étoile amoureuse et un panier volant, on rencontre l’Aurore, des elfes, Giordano Bruno, Titien, Mozart… On accompagne les rois mages, on va par les chemins de Compostelle, sous la voûte céleste où d’innombrables étoiles nous parlent de nous-mêmes et de notre Odyssée.
