Brighton (Angleterre), 1915. Sacha, 17 ans, a, depuis son enfance, des visions du futur, bien souvent annonciatrices de mort. Mais telle Cassandre dans la tragédie grecque, ses prémonitions ne sont pas écoutées, sa famille refuse de la prendre au sérieux. Ses frères aînés, Edgar et Thomas, sont partis au front. Les visions de la jeune fille s'amplifient en ces temps de guerre. À l'hôpital militaire, où elle travaille, elle "voit" la mort lorsqu'elle s'approche des hommes qu'elle soigne. Et l'avenir ne fait que confirmer ses pressentiments. Alors qu'un de ses frères est déjà mort au front, Sacha voit le second, Thomas, tomber sous les coups de feu. Son destin bascule. Elle décide de partir en France, pour sauver Thomas. Tout en recherchant activement le régiment de son frère, elle découvre toutes les horreurs de la guerre. -- Un roman sombre à l'atmosphère triste à l'image des temps durs de l'époque.

Greek legends and historical accounts contain many references to special statues or images designed to preserve the safety or livelihood of a city, a business or a house. These images, which fall into two often overlapping categories (talismans and apotropaia), were erected according to special rituals and took on a variety of intriguing forms, including lions, locusts, and bound effigies of destructive deities like Ares. Looking closely at a wide variety of Greek texts and artifacts, Faraone provides a detailed description and survey of these images and then uses this information to provide new interpretations of early Greek myths about Pandora, the Trojan Horse, and the "living statues" created by Hephaestus. At each step he sets the Greek evidence in a wider eastern-Mediterranean context, with detailed discussions of Near Eastern and Egyptian practices that bear close resemblance to the Greek rituals. The study closes with a re-evaluation of the traditional scholarly approach to religious art as purely representational, suggesting that some images instead of simply illustrating the power of a god, were actually created to restrain and control the power of inimical supernatural forces such as plague-gods and ghosts. Focusing renewed attention on these often misinterpreted talismans and apotropaia, Talismans and Trojan Horses will be illuminating for scholars and students of classics, art and archaeology, religion, the Ancient Near East, the Bible, and mythology.
