Dante et Goethe : dialogues

On a windswept beach near Plouha, Diotime and Élise walk in silence until the tide’s slow pulse awakens a sudden question. The conversation drifts from ordinary gossip to the towering figures of Dante and Goethe, casting the craggy rocks as a portal to the infernal and the sublime. Their exchange becomes a meditation on how an Italian soul and a German mind can be bound by an unchanging love that transcends borders.

The book unfolds as a series of lyrical dialogues that juxtapose the medieval pilgrim of the Divine Comedy with the Romantic poet of Faust, letting each voice illuminate the other’s world. Through vivid descriptions of sea‑blown granite and echoing verses, listeners are invited to explore themes of destiny, cultural identity, and the timeless power of imagination. The tone remains intimate and philosophical, offering a thoughtful reverie rather than a fast‑paced plot.
