"Mythologies" contains two of Michel Galiana's finest works, the long poems "Fighting Hercules" and "The Triumph of Hermes." MICHEL GALIANA (1933 - 1999) published a novel, "The Shadow Theatre" (1966) similar to Voltaire's philosophical tales; two essays, entitled "Beyond your Homeland" (1987) and "Treatise on Indifference" (1989), in which he proclaims that he wants no part in the collective extravagances forced on us by the state and society and extolls indifference as a virtue, excluding however revolt, which generates new kinds of alienation; and two collections of narratives, "A Trip to t...

His other works include "The Dream in the Orchard," "In Memoriam" (1991), and "Out of a Book of Hours" (1992). His brother and English translator, Christian SOUCHON, is a translator with the international organization OECD. He believes that only verses may translate verses and that a prose translation would be like a black and white photograph of a gorgeous colourful painting.
