En savoir plus sur le livre
Jerry Cornelius is a scientist, rock star, and assassin, navigating a pop art nightmare filled with kidnappings, murder, sex, and drugs. Together with his savvy partner, Miss Brunner, he seeks to control a revolutionary code for creating the ultimate human being—a modern messiah. This first installment of the Cornelius Quartet introduces the misadventures of Jerry Cornelius, a distinctive character shaped by a bewildering post-modern culture and an inspiration for generations. Michael Moorcock transcends genre boundaries, infusing his narrative with a vitality that reflects the volatile nature of contemporary life. The work masterfully handles the dizzying contingencies of mid-century imagination, blending identity games, falsified realities, and parodic history into a rich tapestry. Moorcock's creation can traverse mythical versions of today’s issues without simplifying them, offering a necessary gift in a world lacking imagination. Born in England, Moorcock has published over 50 books and was a key figure in the influential magazine New Worlds, which introduced the term "speculative fiction." In this groundbreaking novel, he anticipates the chaotic legacy of the 1960s, capturing a golden moment when everything seemed possible.
