Poul Anderson Livres

Le Voyage dans le Temps, c'est très bien. En particulier pour les touristes, les historiens et les archéologues. Mais il y a aussi quelques illuminés qui entendent en profiter pour modifier le cours de l'Histoire. Assassiner un fondateur de religion, changer l'issue d'une bataille, et - pourquoi pas ? - amputer le nez de Cléopâtre, voire se tailler un empire personnel en important de l'avenir des armes prohibées. C'est déjà inquiétant pour l'humain ordinaire, encore qu'il ne s'apercevrait jamais de cette réécriture de l'Histoire, surtout s'il y disparaissait. Mais c'est carrément intolérable pour les Danelliens de l'avenir lointain, plus d'un million d'années, les surhommes de l'avenir, qui n'ont aucune envie d'être éradiqués. Ils ont donc créé la Patrouille du Temps chargée de maintenir l'Histoire dans son droit fil. Qui mène à eux. Le cycle de La Patrouille du Temps, qui comportera quatre volumes, est l'un des classiques les plus fameux de la science-fiction, dû à l'un de ses plus éminents créateurs, Poul Anderson.

On a distant planet far from Earth, a young human boy and his Hoka tutor are destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy that could have unexpected--and deadly--consequences

"This volume, the first of a two-volume set gathering the best American science fiction from the tumultuous 1960s, opens with Poul Anderson's immensely popular The High Crusade, in which aliens planning to conquer Earth land in Lincolnshire during the Hundred Years' War. In Clifford Simak's Hugo Award-winning Way Station, Enoch Wallace is a spry 124-year-old Civil War veteran whose lifelong job monitoring the intergalactic pit stop inside his home is largely uneventful--until a CIA agent shows up and Cold War hostilities threaten the peaceful harmony of the Galactic confederation. Daniel Keyes's beloved Flowers for Algernon, winner of the Nebula Award and adapted as the Academy Award-winning movie Charly, is told through the journal entries of Charlie Gordon, a young man with severe learning disabilities who is the test subject for surgery to improve his intelligence. And in the postapocalyptic earthscape of Roger Zelazny's Hugo Award-winning . . .
