Ragots, rumeurs, perfidies, scandales et scoops antiques, d’Homere a saint Augustin, a lire en toute bonne conscience !

Scoops, sexe et scandales, bienvenue dans le monde des people antiques ! En matiere de celebrite les Grecs et les Romains sont des predecesseurs illustres et exemplaires. A cote des dechirements des Atrides, les vicissitudes de la famille royale d’Angleterre paraissent bien ternes, les vies fulgurantes d’Achille et d’Hippolyte n’ont rien a envier a celles de James Dean ou Kurt Cobain, les lolitas hollywoodiennes les plus sulfureuses sont des modeles de vertu comparees a l’imperatrice Messaline. Quant aux nuits de debauche des empereurs romains, elles feraient rougir les critiques les plus malveillants de nos gazettes contemporaines. Il faut reconnaitre que les chroniqueurs d’alors, de Martial a Procope en passant par Plutarque ou meme Homere, avaient la formule assassine et l’anecdote vitriolee. Celebriti recueille plus de cent extraits, issus des traductions Belles Lettres, les rumeurs les plus folles, les ragots les plus incroyables, tous millesimes et edifiants, a devorer en toute bonne conscience!
