Without laws or gods

In his head, just cut off, the time for life to recede, the images of his existence flash by. And it is not only the battles or the political intrigues that he sees again, but also the moments of love and sensuality. Son of one of the greatest families of Athens, adopted son of Pericles, friend of Socrates, as ambitious as insolent, as beautiful as intelligent, Alcibiades wants everything; but if nothing resists him, everything escapes him. He fascinates : Plato, Thucydides, Plutarch have tried to understand this meteor, solar and dark. But Alcibiades is not only a politician, it is also the eternal body of twenty years old which charms all those who cross his road, whatever their sex, it is the love of pleasure. Alcibiades likes to conquer, not only the cities, but also all the beings who awaken his desire: how not to use the infinite resources of an attractive skin and body?

With Sans lois ni dieux Éric Jourdan offers us a double-ended story that exalts the permanence of desire and the independence of spirit that characterize any man truly in love with freedom. This book was originally published in large format under the title Le songe d'Alcibiade.
