Descrição
Depuis l’Antiquité, le mythe de Pygmalion et Galatée n’a de cesse de fasciner et d’inspirer des artistes. Mais ce récit millénaire du sculpteur misanthrope, épris de la statue qu’il vient de réaliser, demeure inachevé : lorsque Galatée est transformée en être vivant par les dieux, elle est réduite au silence par les hommes. Enfin, il est temps pour elle de devenir la narratrice de sa propre histoire et ainsi de choisir elle-même son destin.

This is the shortest yet quite satisfying of retold tales of Greek Mythology I've ever read. It made me wince a little when I read how Galatea was treated, which from my perspective was really treated like an object or item (even though Galatea is actually a statue according to the story). However, knowing how she was (what I think) was treated quite badly, I was a little hurt as a woman.It feels like women are always expected to remain pure, innocent and flawless to satisfy everyone's egos, especially men.
