Ces trois contes sont trois histoires extraordinaires ou le fantastique religieux illumine la vie quotidienne.

La Legende de saint Julien l’Hospitalier, c’est le Moyen Age, ses seigneurs passionnes de chasse. Ses lepreux.

Herodias, c’est la Palestine au temps d’Herode avec ses intrigues de palais, l’occupation romaine et la danse sensuelle de Salome reclamant la tete de saint Jean-Baptiste. Un coeur simple, c’est enfin la Normandie chere a Flaubert, Pont-l’Eveque et Trouville. Une vieille servante y a vecu et souffert. Elle finit par voir en son perroquet le Saint-Esprit lui-meme.

Trois chefs-d’oeuvre pleins de realisme, de delicatesse et d’emotion.

Qui ne connait pas les voyages de Gulliver aux pays des hommes minuscules – Lilliput – au pays des geants – Brobdingnag – a l'ile volante de Laputa ou au pays des chevaux intelligents – les Houyhnhnms. Au dela de la poesie et de la beaute de l'imaginaire, Swift nous propose une reflexion profonde, mais pessimiste, sur la societe et la politique de son temps.
