En nous presentant Pericles vu et depeint par son ami le philosophe Anaxagore de Clazomene, Rex Warner trace de facon particulierement originale la figure attachante entre toutes de celui que Thucydide qualifia de ” premier citoyen de sa patrie. ” De fait, Pericles, a la fois orateur de genie, stratege et homme d’Etat fondateur de la puissance athenienne, fut bien de ces heros de nature a inspirer au grand romancier britannique l’exceptionnel ouvrage que l’on va lire. On retrouvera ici un Pericles entoure des grands hommes de son temps : Sophocle, Eschyle, Themistocle, Phidias. Sans rien perdre de la fidelite a l’Histoire, ce livre a le charme et la vie du roman. A la maniere a la fois familiere et magistrale avec laquelle Marguerite Yourcenar traita le portrait d’Hadrien, Rex Warner nous donne un recit certes imaginaire mais grace auquel nous approchons au plus pres l’homme que fut Pericles. Un veritable tour de force litteraire.
