À Gibraltar, une pâtissière ensorcelle ses clients avec des gâteaux,
À Marseille, une coiffeuse est face au cadavre de son patron,
Et à Raguse, un homme souhaite emprisonner la mer sur sa toile…
Sept récits traversent ainsi les époques, de l'antiquité à nos jours, et la Méditerranée, comme autant de visions vibrantes et fantastiques où se jouent des destins, des terreurs, des désirs.
7 short stories taking place in different places and times, but all about the sea. A tribute to the sea
Here are powerful 7 stories for all ages where fates, terrors, desire and other human tendencies are described and related to the sea in some way... No spoilers here, only the beginning of each story:
In Gibraltar, a confectioner bewitches her customers with her cakes; in Cadaqués, a child is born from the union of a mermaid and a man; in Marseille, a hairdresser finds the corpse of her boss; far from there, in the Mediterranean, a sea monster threatens; a man decides to sail away and face the risks of the sea for a better future while another wants to imprison it on a canvas...
A wonderful and detailed tribute to the sea in all its aspects and connexion to the human beings.
