Mythos - The stunningly iIllustrated story

En Angleterre, les acteurs écrivent aussi bien qu'ils jouent la comédie... Ce n'est pas Stephen Fry, aussi efficace à l'écran que la plume à la main, qui fera taire la rumeur. Dans L'Hippopotame, son second roman (après Mensonges, mensonges), il dresse un étrange tableau de famille, sur fond de riche société anglaise, et dévoile en trompe-l'oeil les secrets des uns et les obsessions des autres. Au premier plan, avec cet humour juste et raffiné, teinté d'une méchanceté toute britannique, Fry dépose son hippopotame, Ted Wallace.L'individu aime les femmes, l'argent, le whisky... Snob et acariâtre, ce poète à la plume de fiel compte dans ses relations quatre-vingt-quinze pour cent d'ennemis et cinq pour cent d'amis intéressés. Alors qu'il noie dans l'alcool son échec professionnel au bar d'un club de Soho, il tombe sur Jane, sa filleule, qui lui annonce bientôt qu'elle est atteinte d'une maladie mortelle. Une révélation qui n'aurait guère concerné notre ami Ted si elle n'était suivie d'une proposition : cent mille livres pour enquêter sur un miracle qui aurait eu lieu dans la magnifique propriété de l'oncle de Jane : Michael Logan. Un richissime industriel que Ted connaît bien..

Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'. Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
