Resumen de La quête d’Astarté dans les chroniques de voyages en Espagne de Jean Lorrain
In search of the timeless sacred, Jean Lorrain shows a true obsession with the various manifestations of mythology, as well as the controversial symbols it presents. Indeed, there are many works in which he gives an account of this incessant search to respond to the existential premises that define the world and the birth of Humanity. As a travel chronicler, touring the Mediterranean – this blue immensity – allows him to go towards the Other, define his mythological divinity and at the same time capture the immemorial quintessence that can be divined in him. Valencia, Barcelona, Venice and other cities of the Maghreb will be the beacons that direct him towards the goddess Astarte, torch of the city of Cádiz.
