Alt Sagas - Huets, Jean

. .

Résumé :
In the tradition of Ray Bradbury and Neil Gaiman, Alt Sagas conjures up places and times almost familiar, unfolding the most profound quandaries of our own lives-and perhaps of our futures. Three novellas and two stories probe loyalty and what happens when it's displaced, social revolution, aging, faith, the perils of working magic, physical nonconformity, and more. In five tour-de-force tales, space crusaders and lonely Calibans sift through the cultural rubble on a hunt for hope and connection. A Norse saga, a Shakespearean tragedy, a Wild West showdown: Huets' imaginative takes on our cultural touchstones help to explain how we crashed our way into a frightening future...
