Fires (Fogos) is a collection of short stories, lyrical prose, and poems inspired by a specific notion of love. Alternating with reflections on romantic passion, the book features the stories of Phaedra, Achilles, Antigone, among others. Marguerite Yourcenar explores the idolatry of the beloved, contrasting it with more abstract passions that often prevail over sentimental obsession, suggesting that love is frequently a beautiful, fleeting accident compared to the deeper choices that define us.
