The alternation of crises and idylls, of orgiastic practices, of obscure deaths and visions, gives rise, in the world of contemporary, to the mythology and genealogy of a matriarchal religion which, today, perhaps represents the dark dream of many.
A. is described by the author as a novel devoid of literary value, yet one that carries within it vivid themes presented in an extremely simplified form. It is an attempt to outline the mythology and genealogy of a matriarchal religion, inspired by Rousseau’s Rousseau, juge de Jean-Jacques , by Fourier’s The New Amorous World and, lastly, by Bachofen, for his profound understanding of maternal myths in the early chapters of his work on matriarchy. A novel written in 1971 that may appear to a future explorer as the faded premonition of familiar thoughts, values, and theophanies.
