Une sorcellerie

Witnessing a supernatural experience, in a time so battered by the spirit of calculation and analysis, inevitably involves a reverse side of shadow and madness. It is on the ground of the great prophecies that we move with this hallucinatory tale, where echoes of Milton and Dante echo. We are in 2015, just before the attacks of the Bataclan and the Stade de France. At the end of a strangely bright afternoon, the narrator will suddenly experience an exit from his body. Against all likelihood, he is projected into the head of a scientist named Daxull, tycoon of new technologies and terrible dark mage. For two days, like an omen of the worst, he lives to the rhythm of his host, discovering the extent of his obscure plots. Nightmare ? Witchcraft? After reintegrating his bodily envelope, the narrator becomes aware of being engaged in a spiritual quest that will take him from Paris to Jerusalem.00 From biblical stories to the vertigo of history through the archetypes of the imaginary, Valentin Retz invites us, as Cervantes would say, to live while dreaming and dream while living.
