Talisman Sur Ton Coeur with David Haziza

The sacred as the erotic, the erotic as the sacred–-this is the Song of Songs.

David Haziza’s new translation and polyphonic essay offers for the first time in French a complete interpretation of The Song of Solomon. David Haziza manages to explore the key elements of the world’s oldest love poem, mobilizing the latest findings in linguistics, archeology, and comparative mythology. It is a brilliant and unique work where, at the crossroads of religion and blasphemy, language confronts the body.
