Rome - Coffret : La République romaine - L'Empire romain.
Asimov IsaacLes Belles Lettres regroupent dans ce somptueux coffret réalisé par Benjamin Van Blancke les deux volumes d'Isaac Asimov consacrés à l'histoire romaine, de sa fondation à sa chute. C'est sa fascination pour l'histoire du grand Empire romain qui inspira Asimov pour construire son Empire galactique dans le Cycle de Fondation, oeuvre qui s'est rapidement imposée comme un classique et comme une référence de la littérature de science-fiction. Dans La République romaine, Asimov retrace l'épopée d'une petite tribu qui a bâti en l'espace de 500 ans, grâce à son audace et à son ingéniosité, l'une des civilisations les plus brillantes de l'histoire : Rome. De la fondation légendaire par Romulus à l'avènement d'Auguste, Asimov dresse, grâce à sa maîtrise parfaite de la narration, un tableau limpide de cette époque fascinante. Chaque chapitre s'ouvre sur l'une des superbes illustrations de Benjamin Van Blancke, et immerge tout entier le lecteur dans cette « suite extraordinaire de triomphes et de désastres, de faits de bravoure au combat et de bêtise dans la paix, d'intrigues sordides et d'idéalisme glorieux » (Isaac Asimov). Dans le second et dernier volume consacré à l'histoire romaine, Isaac Asimov guide ses lecteurs à travers les quatre siècles durant lesquels Rome assura son hégémonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix à une centaine de millions de personnes. L'Empire romain reprend le récit là où La République romaine l'avait laissé, à l'avènement d'Auguste et au début du principat, et couvre toutes les lignées d'empereurs jusqu'aux royaumes germaniques et à la victoire de Clovis à Soissons, qui marque la fin de la tradition romaine, 1239 ans après la fondation de la Ville par Romulus. Se plaçant en chroniqueur lucide, Asimov, au moyen d'anecdotes savoureuses et d'apartés, relie la « grande » histoire, celle des batailles et des dirigeants, à la « petite », celle du quotidien et des masses anonymes. Ce volume est, comme le précédent, illustré par les majestueux dessins de Benjamin Van Blancke.En stockCOMMANDER39,80 € -

NAKED SUN
ASIMOV ISAACPrésentation de l'éditeur A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants. To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on. Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities: Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots--unthinkable under the laws of Robotics--or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence! --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Poche .EpuiséVOIR PRODUIT12,11 €

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (VO)
CHRISTIE AGATHAMurder on the Orient Express is a tour-de-force variation on the theme of the English house-party, gathering a remarkable set of characters, each a secretive soul, for a journey on the fabled Orient Express train as it travels from Istanbul to Paris. On hand to resolve the murder of an American passenger is Hercule Poirot, the dapper Belgian detective, dependent only on his wit, who tucks away obscure, seemingly unrelated minutiae in his facile mind. When he determines that the corpse was a renowned child kidnapper/killer, he begins to wonder about connections between the passengers and the victim. A misplaced button, overheard conversations, a monogrammed handkerchief, and an elusive figure clad in a scarlet kimono all become clues as Hercule Poirot interrogates the snow-trapped travelers and comes to his own conclusions. Murder on the Orient Express, with its skill plot construction, adroit writing, and thought-provoking revelations, reminds us that what is "just" is not always what is legal..Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER9,00 € -
