Les mille et une vies de Billy Milligan
Keyes DanielQuand la police de l'Ohio arrête l'auteur présumé de trois, voire quatre viols de jeunes femmes, elle croit tenir un cas facile: les victimes reconnaissent formellement le coupable, et celui-ci possède chez lui la totalité de ce qui leur a été volé. Pourtant, ce dernier nie farouchement. Ou bien il reconnaît les vols, mais pas les viols. Son étrange comportement amène ses avocats commis d'office à demander une expertise psychiatrique. Et c'est ainsi que tout commence? On découvre que William Stanley Milligan possède ce que l'on appelle une personnalité multiple, une affection psychologique très rare qui fait de lui un être littéralement « éclaté » en plusieurs personnes différentes qui tour à tour habitent son corps. Il y a là Arthur, un Londonien raffiné, cultivé, plutôt méprisant, et puis Ragen, un Yougoslave brutal d'une force prodigieuse, expert en armes à feu. Et bien d?autres. En tout, vingt-quatre personnalités d'âge, de caractère, et même de sexe différents.L'affaire Billy Milligan a fait la une des journaux américains, fascinés par ce cas et par la lutte qu?ont menée les psychiatres et Billy lui-même pour essayer de « fusionner » en un seul individu ses 24 personnalités. Quant au livre, construit comme un véritable drame shakespearien, il est le résultat de mois et de mois de rencontres et d'entretiens entre Daniel Keyes et? Ragen, Arthur, Allen et les autres. Une lecture absolument fascinante, bientôt adaptée au cinéma par Joel Schumacher (Chute libre, Phone Game.)... un thriller psychologique absolument fascinant" Publishers Weekly "EpuiséVOIR PRODUIT22,65 € -

Neuromancer (VO anglaise)
Gibson WilliamThe sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel. William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer. The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term "cyberspace" produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the Cyberpunk movement. More than three decades later, Gibson's text is as stylish as ever, his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day. Part thriller, part warning. Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER14,00 € -
