Au IVe siecle avant notre ere, des paysans, des pecheurs, des mendiants et des filles echangent des lettres dans lesquelles ils racontent leur vie quotidienne et critiquent la societe de leur temps. Telle est la fiction que nous propose Alciphron (IIe ou debut du IIIe siecle de notre ere). En donnant la parole a ces narrateurs pauvres et meprises, il nous fait decouvrir des realites que les textes antiques montrent rarement: la misere des petites gens, les humiliations qu’entraine la condition de parasite, les problemes sentimentaux ou pecuniaires des hetaires. Il nous conduit dans les marges de la cite athenienne. Mais son recueil est surtout un jeu savant, litteraire, de pastiche et de parodie. Ce texte meconnu, qui a eu son heure de gloire au XVIIIe siecle, est pour la premiere fois integralement traduit en francais.
