Description
"La cérémonie du congrès est extraordinaire : il s'agit d'un procès en impuissance durant lequel le mari est sommé d'honorer publiquement son épouse. En 1685, dans une atmosphère de haines religieuses et d'intrigues financières, Guillaume Vallade, héritier d'une riche charge de bâtisseur du roi, et sa femme Jehane, d'origine protestante, sont condamnés à subir l'épreuve du congrès. " Dresser, pénétrer, mouiller ", telle est l'injonction à laquelle Guillaume doit obéir, nu sur un lit avec Jehane, devant un parterre de prêtres, de médecins et de courtisans. Le désir peut-il se glisser dans une telle parodie de l'acte d'amour ? Peut-on survivre à ce viol entre époux, à cette " pornographie sacrée " organisée par l'Eglise et la Justice ?"-- p. 4 of cover.
