About the Book

Un racconto tragico e coinvolgente ambientato nell'Antica Roma che ripercorre la vita della figlia illegittima di un re, nata in schiavitù e scelta dalla dea Venere come custode delle Tavole di Venus Anh, un elenco di diritti e doveri delle donne. Ancora giovane, la protagonista viene pugnalata al cuore mentre diffonde il suo messaggio ma risorge diventando la dea dei diritti delle donne, impegnata a far conoscere le Tavole di Venus Anh in tutto il mondo. Nel frattempo, il suo sogno di sposare Giulio Cesare si interrompe bruscamente un mese prima delle nozze, quando questi viene ucciso.

Il racconto comincia con la madre della protagonista, Anh, in fuga dal Vietnam devastato dalla prima invasione cinese del 111 AC. Insieme al signore degli schiavi Quyen, la donna arriva in Persia (l'attuale Arabia Saudita) dove viene catturata da alcuni guerrieri e portata Borsippa (nell'attuale Iraq) per lavorare come schiava nell'officina di un fabbro. Dopo aver subito ripetute violenze da parte di una guardia, Anh viene condotta nel regno di Bitinia (vicino all'attuale Istanbul), dove è ceduta a un nuovo padrone più compassionevole.

Qui Anh conosce il figlio del re di Bitinia, Nicomede IV, e il 21 aprile del 100 AC dà alla luce una figlia, anch'essa di nome Anh. A vent'anni, la giovane viene regalata dal padre a Giulio Cesare, che la porta a Roma come sua concubina. Su una spiaggia del mar Tirreno, Anh incontra la dea Venere che le consegna le Tavole, impresse su una conchiglia. La protagonista riceve il nuovo nome di Venus Anh e viene inviata dalla dea a diffondere il messaggio in tutta la Repubblica.

Anni più tardi, Venus Anh viene a sapere che i genitori sono stati uccisi e poco tempo dopo si imbatte nell'assassino, che la pugnala al cuore. Muore per poi risorgere nel Tempio di Giove diventando la dea dei diritti delle donne e si dedica alla predicazione del suo messaggio rimanendo sempre accanto all'amato Giulio Cesare fino alla morte di questi un mese prima delle nozze.

La storia rappresenta un percorso mistico, a tratti esoterico, che affronta temi di grande attualità come i diritti delle donne, il potere e il comando, la sessualità etero e LGBT, la violenza sessuale, la vendetta, la schiavitù, il divino e il mistero.

Completa il libro il materiale pubblicato sul sito venusanh.com e sugli account social . L'autore ha creato immagini per ognuna delle 55 scene in cui è suddiviso il racconto in versi, dando vita a un ambizioso progetto fotografico che ha coinvolto decine di modelli in meravigliose località italiane. Le immagini saranno pubblicate a parte nel 2018.

Il logo VA è un marchio registrato. L'autore intende donare una parte del ricavato delle vendite del libro e del materiale di merchandising a organizzazioni che promuovono la diffusione dei diritti delle donne sanciti nelle Tavole di Venus Anh.
