Michael Moorcock

    18 décembre 1939

    Michael Moorcock est un auteur anglais célébré dont l'œuvre étendue couvre la science-fiction, la fantasy et les romans littéraires. Son écriture aborde souvent des dilemmes moraux complexes et explore des personnages archétypaux qui remettent en question les limites de l'existence humaine et la nature de la réalité. Le style distinctif de Moorcock, caractérisé par des réflexions métaphysiques et une perspective ironique aiguisée, a profondément influencé le développement de la science-fiction moderne et le paysage littéraire plus large.

    Le seigneur des airs
    La forteresse de la Perle
    • Elric s'est égaré dans le Désert des Soupirs ; le voici à Quarzhasaat, ville engloutie par la marée des dunes. Trop tard peut-être : Elric délire, Elric agonise. Où est l'élixir qui lui rendra ses forces ? Et s'il boit l'élixir, où trouver l'antidote ? Finalement il accepte un pacte : il va quérir la Perle au Cœur du Monde. Le voilà donc parti pour l'Oasis Fleur d'Argent, où Varadia, la Sainte Fille des nomades bauradim, dort d'un sommeil surnaturel. De là part le chemin vers les Royaumes du Rêve, où se dresse, dit-on, la Forteresse de la Perle. Mais comment s'orienter, sans les Voleurs de Songes, dans ces terres fictives ? Et comment affronter les Aventuriers Magiciens, sachant que Stormbringer, la Buveuse d'Ames, ne pourra rien contre ces chimères issues de l'imagination ? Un voyage inouï attend le prince albinos : il explore des domaines de la " fantasy ", où nul ne s'était risqué avant lui.
