Elle n'a pu empêcher que ses alliés soient envoyés aux quatre coins du continent, chacun esclave en rêve des murmures d'autres divinités.

Paru à la fin du XIXe siècle, ce recueil de fictions rassemble des contes où l’imaginaire se fait souverain. Le comte de Villiers de L’Isle-Adam y déploie une voix singulière, à la fois fiévreuse et précise, pour sonder les zones d’ombre et d’éclat de l’âme humaine. D’une scène à l’autre, l’étrangeté affleure, le quotidien se fissure, l’idéal se heurte au réel: autant d’histoires brèves qui ouvrent des portes sur l’inattendu.
