Le Parlement des fées

Amour et sommeil

Le Parlement des fées Tome 1

Demeure d'Edgewood, jadis construite par John Drinkwater, architecte excentrique passionné de sciences occultes, afin d'y loger sa famille. Edgewood : une maison qui n'en est pas une, mais dix, cent. Une folie architecturale sur laquelle le temps n'a plus de prise. Un refuge au milieu des bois pour les derniers vestiges d'un royaume imaginaire bientôt disparu. Edgewood : un endroit hors du monde où se nouent les fils de la vie, où l'amour, la mort et le souvenir tissent des liens invisibles autour des femmes et des hommes. Un lieu enchanteur où s'écrira le testament d'une époque, sous la forme d'un Conte, lorsque, pour la dernière fois, se réunira le Parlement des Fées.

Parlement des fees - tome 1

In the early years of the 1940s, as the nation's young men ship off to combat, a city springs up, seemingly overnight in the fields of Oklahoma: the Van Damme airplane factory, a gargantuan complex dedicated to the construction of the necessary machinery of warfare. Labourers - mostly women - flock to this place, enticed by the opportunity to be something more than wife and homemaker. For Vi, fleeing a dying ranch; for Connie, following an unfaithful husband; for Diane, leaving behind the hot music and soldier boys to pursue something different, adult, and real; their journeys will be liberating in ways they couldn't previously imagine, and will lead each of them to Prosper Olander - disabled artist, forger, friend, lover, and the true heart and soul of the temporary city - who will change their lives in profound and unexpected ways.

Four Freedoms

L'abîme

His name is Caspar Last, and this is the unique chronicle of the vacation he took from the twentieth century. It begins - or does it? - when Caspar, a genius, poor of course, and resentful at that, decides to use his "time machine" to bring back a modest fortune. It begins - or maybe it doesn't - with a mysterious bequest to a secret Otherhood charged with preserving and extending the British Empire at any cost. From the bold colonial days of empire-builder Cecil Rhodes through the wide-eyed and wondrous possibilities of the present to a strange and haunting future of magi and angels, of men and many races other than our own, John Crowley's time-travel masterpiece surfs bravely along "the infinite, infinitely broken coastline of Time" to tell a story that takes place neither here nor there, but everywhen.
