Alto Voce, 2008. Paperback. Very Good. Texte français. Couverture souple. État d'usage: comme neuf. Vérité des vérités, tout est vérité. Amateur d'embrouilles, d'imagination débridée et d'exagérations douteuses, n'ouvre pas ce livre, car tu risques d'être déçu. Tous les événements relatés ici ont été rigoureusement dessinés, documentés et contrevérifiés. Malheureux en amour, incompris par la critique, l'imprévisible Alexandre Bourbaki a fait fi des recommandations du pendule de Tryphon et s'est enfoncé à l'est, toujours plus à l'est. Il a extrait de son étrange périple la matière d'un livre plein de savoureuses considérations sur la solitude, les chaises Solair, les bandes de couleurs, la domestication des chiens, l'aménagement du territoire, une sombre histoire d'attentat artistique et le journal quasi intime de son doppelgänger. «Contrairement à certains laboratoires de création, les jeux d'écriture d'Alexandre Bourbaki ont l'avantage d'être accessibles. Grande plaine IV se lit comme un roman de l'étrange, ironique et délirant, mais qui ne tombe pas dans l'incompréhension.» - Elsa Pépin, La Presse, Alto Voce, 2008, 3, Chatto & Windus. First UK edition-2nd printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Fine condition.Chatto and Windus,2003.First UK edition-2nd printing(2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3).Black hardbackgilt lettering to the spine,small nick on the cover) with Dj(a couple of small creases,nicks and scratch on the Dj cover),both in fine condition.The book is as new with a small nick on the edge of the pages,small pencil mark impression on the edge of the first page of the book,small ink mark inside the Dj cover.306pp.Price un-clipped. This is another paragraph From Publishers Weekly: For her 25th fan-pleasing outing, Rice reunites some of her most popular creations and, for the first time since Memnoch the Devil (1995), lets the Vampire Lestat write the book. Taking up where last year's Blackwood Farm ended, the now-doppelganger-free Quinn Blackwood and Lestat save Quinn's true love, the witch Mona Mayfair, from certain death by making her an immortal. In his effort to attain sainthood, Lestat must deal with a lot of metaphysical angst. The opulent Blackwood estate and its spooky swamps, as well as New Orleans and a Caribbean isle, provide the settings for many elegant costume changes as the exquisite vampiric triumvirate gleefully suck several deserving victims dry and lay waste to dozens of a drug lord's minions. The vampirisation of young Mona, a true child of our times, gives Rice a dynamic new vampire personality with whom to play. Writing as if her blood-inked quill were afire, Rice seems truly possessed by her Brat Prince of darkness as she races through the story. She sometimes slights members of the vast supporting cast, both dead and alive, but neatly ties up all their loose ends. The complete unification of the Mayfair witch saga with that of the Vampire Chronicles provides either a befitting end or a new beginning for the Queen of the Vampires., Chatto & Windus, 5<
