Title : The Dune Cycle, Volume 6 - The Heretics of Dune - Frank Herbert - book Summary : Leo II, the Tyrant, the God-Emperor, has been dead for thousands of years, but his memory is still remembered. His disappearance led to a whirlwind of violence, the Great Famine, and the Dispersion of humanity across the universes. Yet these disorders ensured humanity's survival in accordance with the Tyrant's plans; and his Priests use them as arguments to justify their ambitions. But Reverend Mother Taraza knows well that power comes from the Spice, the source of prescience. Will the planet Dune, now Rakis, remain the center of all intrigues now that the Bene Tleilax have learned to produce the spice without the help of giant worms? The forces that measure themselves in the shadows are on the lookout for the slightest sign. However, signs appear where no one expected them. On Rakis, a young girl, almost a child, seems able to command the giant worms. Across the Empire, the Lost of the Great Scattering are beginning to return. What are they seeking? What are they fleeing? EAN : 9782266028134 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : And Man Created a God - Prelude to Dune - Frank Herbert - book Summary : Barely out of the Peace School, Lewis Orne is sent on a mission to one of the lost planets, which has just been rediscovered. The Galactic Empire, dismantled by the March War, is in the process of reunification, and the development of warlike civilizations in the separated humanities must be prevented. Men are marked by the horrors of war, and repression does not help them rebalance their lives. But Orne senses their problems and solves them as if by magic. Could he be a psi focus, a miracle worker, a potential god? Those who manipulate him—the government, the priests of the Overgod, the secret counter-power of the Nathians—may be playing a dangerous game: a creature turned creator, he can cause pain and suffering. Unless he finds a way to tame hatred and panic. Will he become master of himself? of the universe? of both at once? EAN : 9782266022798 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : A History of Science Fiction - The Golden Age 1938-1957 - Jacques Sadoul - book Summary : The city... He has decided to destroy it. But the Leviathan of concrete and steel engages in a titanic struggle to defend itself... A solar system disappears, a world dies... What superior entity can with impunity grant itself the right to destroy one civilization for the benefit of another? As the century experiences its greatest upheavals, science fiction enters its golden age. Post-apocalyptic worlds, exploratory voyages in space, temporal paradoxes... The genre turns more openly towards scientific foresight, and the writings reflect contemporary concerns. Jacques Sadoul has collected here eleven classic short stories by A.E. van Vogt, Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein, perfectly representative of a literary movement that is becoming essential. EAN : 9782290305317 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : First assessment after the apocalypse - Frédéric Beigbeder - book Summary : The apocalypse, would it be digital publishing, or as in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the temperature at which paper ignites and burns? Frédéric Beigbeder saves here from the fire all the books, to be precise the 100 works, that he wishes to preserve in the twenty-first century, in the form of an intimate hit parade of 100 to 1. It is therefore a totally personal ranking, egotistic, joyful, unexpected, sometimes classic (André Gide, Fitzgerald, Paul-Jean Toulet, Salinger and other greats), often surprising (Patrick Besson, Bret Easton Ellis, Régis Jauffret, Simon Liberati, Gabriel Matzneff, other night owls, other troublemakers). It is rare to establish the panorama of a literature in the process of being made, of improving itself, of inventing itself. With this manifesto, it is the bookish Beigbeder that we discover, at the same time as an autobiography in fragments, a self-portrait as a reader. "If I write, it is thanks to these pieces of papyrus where a soul mate was always hidden. In any case, it is towards these hundred precious objects that one must feel gratitude or resentment."
