Αριάδνη ή η λησμονιά

Rate this book
Εγκαταλελειμμένη σε μια παραλία της Νάξου, μια νέα κοπέλα βρίσκεται σε απελπισία. Ακολούθησε απερίσκεπτα έναν λαμπρό νέο, αλλά τυχοδιώκτη, ο οποίος, αφού της αφαίρεσε την παρθενία, εξαφανίστηκε. Όμως δεν υπάρχει ερωτικός πόνος που να μην μπορεί να επουλωθεί, ιδίως όταν ξαφνικά εμφανίζεται ένας άντρας που αποπνέει μιαν εορταστική αύρα. Ένας άντρας που απαλλάσσει τη νεαρή κοπέλα από τις αναμνήσεις της, τής μαθαίνει τη λησμονιά και τής προσφέρει την αθανασία, η οποία είναι ίσως ένα δηλητηριώδες δώρο. Αυτή η ιστορία, η οποία τοποθετείται στην απώτατη ελληνική αρχαιότητα, μας δείχνει ότι ο Έρως αρνείται κάθε πρόοδο. Αναμφιβόλως, είναι η μόνη μή προοδευτική δύναμη στον κόσμο.
