Ilium

Dan Simmons · 608 páginas

Ilium, c'est Troie. Troie, c'est la guerre chantée par Homère dans l'Iliade. Mais le mont Olympe est situé sur Mars et les dieux qui l'habitent, conformes à l'imagerie antique, abusent des facilités quantiques en guise de pouvoirs surhumains. Quasiment immortels, ils se déplacent à travers le temps et l'espace. Leur spectacle favori, voire obsessionnel, demeure cette guerre qui se déroule sur Terre et dont aucun d'eux ne connaît l'issue. Aucun sauf Zeus, évidemment. Pour vérifier la conformité de la guerre réelle avec ce qu'en a conté Homère, les scholiastes, des érudits pêchés à différents moments de l'histoire, sont dotés de pouvoirs secondaires non négligeables, ainsi celui d'emprunter l'identité d'un Grec ou d'un Troyen le temps de leur observation. Hockenberry est l'un de ces scholiastes, ressuscité, extrait du XXe siècle et enrôlé contre son gré par Aphrodite en personne pour une mission secrète : faire triompher les Troyens, assassiner Athéné. Pour leur part, les Moravecs, Intelligences Artificielles, qui vivent autour des planètes extérieures, commencent à s'inquiéter de la débauche de manipulations quantiques qui a pour source Mars. Elle menace le système solaire et peut-être l'univers tout entier. Ophu d'Io et Mahnmut sont envoyés y voir ce qu'il s'y passe. L'un ne jure que par Shakespeare, l'autre que par Proust. Et sur Mars, de petits hommes verts érigent sans fin des statues géantes dans le style de celles de l'île de Pâques. Tandis que sur terre, les Derniers Hommes, au nombre exact de un million, jouent les sybarites décadents. Dan Simmons, l'auteur du Cycle d'Hypérion, a transposé dans le grandiose avenir avec génie, humour, culture et rigueur, la fameuse Iliade. La Guerre de Troie, comme si vous y étiez. Vue de demain.

I. Asimov

Isaac Asimov · 592 páginas

Encerrado en la habitacion de un hospital y a sabiendas de que sus dias estaban contador, Isaac Asimov decidio dejar de lado la astronomia, la bioquimica y la ciencia ficcion para dedicarse al tema que mas le interesaba: su vida. Nacio asi un autorretrato de pincelada fina, donde destaca la figura de un genio que fue nino prodigio y ya desde la infancia desarrollo los dotes que harian de el el gran humanista del siglo XX: una curiosidad infatigable, un saber aparentemente sin limites, una extraordinaria capacidad de comunicacion y una dedicacion incansable a la propia obra, que se cifraria en mas de 470 textos publicados.Estas Memorias - por donde desfilan personajes de la talla de Arthur C. Clarke, Frederik Pohl, Ben Bova y Robert Silverberg - no se limitan a los perfiles del personaje publico; en ellas oimos tambien la voz mas intima de Asimov, que con aguda ironia va desgranando sus opiniones acerca de amigos y enemigos, sin dejar de lado unas sabrosas anecdotas sobre su vida de marido y padre. El resultado de esta ultima entrega del gran autor es un documento unico, insolito y tan apasionante como la mejor de sus novelas.B+Confio y espero que, tras leer estas Memorias, el lector llegue a conocerme de verdad, y cabe incluso que yo llegue a gustarle. Esto me encantariaB; .

Hyperion went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel, and it and its companion volume, The Fall of Hyperion, took their rightful places in the science fiction pantheon of new classics. Now, six years later, Simmons returns to this richly imagined world of technological achievement, excitement, wonder and fear. Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror--an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.
