Les messieurs ont de fières moustaches, des chapeaux melons ; les dames portent des corsets, des jupons, des bottines à boutons. Déjà, de rutilants tacots pétaradent parmi les fiacres le long des Grands Boulevards aux immeubles haussmanniens. Mais ce n'est pas le Paris de la Belle Époque tel que nous l'entendons : la tour Eiffel est en bois blanc, les sirènes ont investi la Seine, les farfadets, le bois de Vincennes, des chats-ailés discutent philosophie et une ligne de métro permet de rejoindre le pays des fées. Occupé à enquêter sur un trafic d'objets enchantés, Louis Denizart Hippolyte Griffont, mage du Cercle Cyan, se retrouve mêlé à une série de meurtres. Confronté à des gargouilles immortelles et à un puissant sorcier, Griffont n'a d'autre choix que de s'associer à Isabel de Saint-Gil, une fée renégate que le mage ne connaît que trop bien...

| la trilogie de wielstadt: L'uchronie Eric B. Henriet, 2009 Et si Ponce Pilate avait gracie Jesus ? Si Hitler etait mort en 1930 dans un accident de voiture ? Si Napoleon avait gagne a Waterloo ? La suite de l'histoire du monde en eut ete changee Contrairement a d'autres formes de litterature de l'imaginaire ou l'inventivite ne se donne pas de limites, dans l'uchronie il s'agit de reecrire une histoire probable a partir d'un point ou les faits auraient pu diverger. L'uchronie (u prefixe negatif + chronos, temps) est, disait son fondateur Charles Renouvier, une utopie appliquee a l'histoire , c'est-a-dire l'histoire refaite logiquement telle qu'elle aurait pu etre . Le present ouvrage, ecrit par le specialiste francais de l'uchronie, propose definitions, descriptions et comparaisons qui permettent de saisir toutes les nuances de ce genre fascinant ou la fantaisie rejoint souvent la meditation philosophique et la reflexion historique. |

| la trilogie de wielstadt: Visiting Mrs. Nabokov Martin Amis, 2011-01-26 A tantalizing collection of classic essays from one of the most gifted writers of his generation. • The brainy, sarcastic, tender intelligence at the center of these pieces can make you laugh out loud: they can also move you to tears. —People Martin Amis brings the same megawatt wit, wickedly acute perception, and ebullient wordplay that characterize his novels. He encompasses the full range of contemporary politics and culture (high and low) while also traveling to China for soccer with Elton John and to London's darts-crazy pubs in search of the perfect throw. Throughout, he offers razor-sharp takes on such subjects as: American politics: If history is a nightmare from which we are trying to awake, then the Reagan era can be seen as an eight-year blackout. Numb, pale, unhealthily dreamless: eight years of Do Not Disturb. Chess: Nowhere in sport, perhaps in human activity, is the gap between the tryer and the expert so astronomical.... My chances of a chess brilliancy are the 'chances' of a lab chimp and a type writer producing King Lear. His fascination with the observable world is utterly promiscuous: he will address a cathedral and a toilet seat with the same peeled-eyeball intensity. —John Updike |

| la trilogie de wielstadt: The Knight Pierre Pevel, 2014-09-18 Traitor ... or hero? This is the tale of Lorn Askarian. Some say he brought the kingdom to the brink of destruction, taking advantage of a dying king and an unpopular queen to strike against his enemies, heedless of the danger posed by a growing rebellion. Others claim he saved the kingdom, following the orders of a king who had him falsely imprisoned, heedless of the personal cost, and loyal to the last - fighting against desperate odds on the political and physical battlefields alike. Whatever the truth, whatever you choose to believe, this is his story. 'Pierre Pevel writes fantasy novels of depth and style' SciFi Now |

| la trilogie de wielstadt: Lord of the Fire Lands Dave Duncan, 2014-04-01 “Exceptional . . . Duncan can swashbuckle with the best, but his characters feel more deeply and think more clearly than most” (Publishers Weekly). Raider and Wasp have spent five years at Ironhall studying to become Blades, expert swordsmen whose talents stand unmatched. Magic both enhances the Blades’ fighting skills and binds them to lifelong duty. But when Raider and Wasp are selected to protect the king of Chivial himself, they refuse, an act unprecedented in the living history of the Blades. Now on the run for their “treasonous” act, the two gifted swordsmen must escape to the Fire Lands, where pirates, monsters, and mixed allegiances wait around every corner. As old hatreds and still‐fresh tragedies come to light, these young swashbucklers must confront both harsh truths from the past and a present swarming with their would‐be brothers at arms seeking vengeance and intending punishment. Dave Duncan’s Lord of the Fire Lands serves as a splendid sequel and companion to his earlier book The Gilded Chain, and his later Tale of the King’s Blades Sky of Swords. Engaging and complex, it may be enjoyed as a standalone novel or in combination with the rest of the trilogy. Either way, readers are in for a smart, thrilling adventure that cuts like a knife. |

| la trilogie de wielstadt: The Archaeology of Etruscan Society Vedia Izzet, 2007-12-13 The late sixth century was a period of considerable change in Etruria; this change is traditionally seen as the adoption of superior models from Greece. In a re-alignment of agency, this book examines a wide range of Etruscan material culture - mirrors, tombs, sanctuaries, houses and cities - in order to demonstrate the importance of local concerns in the formation of Etruscan material culture. Drawing on theoretical developments, the book emphasises the deliberate nature of the smallest of changes in material culture form, and develops the concept of surface as a unifying key to understanding the changes in the ways Etruscans represented themselves in life and death. This concept allows a uniquely holistic approach to the archaeology of Etruscan society and has the potential for other archaeological investigations. The book will interest all scholars and students of classical archaeology. |
| la trilogie de wielstadt: Raising Stony Mayhall Daryl Gregory, 2011-06-28 From award-winning author Daryl Gregory, whom Library Journal called “[a] bright new voice of the twenty-first century,” comes a new breed of zombie novel—a surprisingly funny, vividly frightening, and ultimately deeply moving story of self-discovery and family love.

Wrapped in the woman’s arms is a baby, stone-cold, not breathing, and without a pulse. But then his eyes open and look up at Wanda—and he begins to move. The family hides the child—whom they name Stony—rather than turn him over to authorities that would destroy him. Against all scientific reason, the undead boy begins to grow. For years his adoptive mother and sisters manage to keep his existence a secret—until one terrifying night when Stony is forced to run and he learns that he is not the only living dead boy left in the world. |

So Tamis made it her mission to see that Parmenion would before the deadliest warrior in the world -- no matter what the cost.

And finally his fate led him to the service of Philip of Macedon. As Tamis had foreseen, Parmenion's destiny was tied to the Dark God, to Philip, and to the yet-unborn Alexander. All too soon the future was upon them. Parmenion stood poised to defeat evil -- or to open the gate for the Dark God to reenter the world. |

| la trilogie de wielstadt: The House of Shattered Wings Aliette de Bodard, 2015-08-18 Multi-award winning author Aliette de Bodard, brings her story of the War in Heaven to Paris, igniting the City of Light in a fantasy of divine power and deep conspiracy… In the late twentieth century, the streets of Paris are lined with haunted ruins, the aftermath of a Great War between arcane powers. The Grand Magasins have been reduced to piles of debris, Notre-Dame is a burnt-out shell, and the Seine has turned black with ashes and rubble and the remnants of the spells that tore the city apart. But those that survived still retain their irrepressible appetite for novelty and distraction, and The Great Houses still vie for dominion over France’s once grand capital. Once the most powerful and formidable, House Silverspires now lies in disarray. Its magic is ailing; its founder, Morningstar, has been missing for decades; and now something from the shadows stalks its people inside their very own walls. Within the House, three very different people must come together: a naive but powerful Fallen angel; an alchemist with a self-destructive addiction; and a resentful young man wielding spells of unknown origin. They may be Silverspires’ salvation—or the architects of its last, irreversible fall. And if Silverspires falls, so may the city itself. |
