The Book Sill: La Bible Steampunk

La Bible Steampunk by Jeff VanderMeer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Merci Bragelonne pour ce magnifique livre, superbement edite et qui m'a fourni une nouvelle liste de lectures a venir s'empiler bientot sur ma table de nuit ! Si certains sujets meriteraient d'etre creuses davantage (mais il s'agit d'un dictionnaire, non d'un essai), ceci est amplement compense par les illustrations somptueuses, dont certaines ont -presque- reussi a me reconcilier avec la mode.

The Steampunk Bible - buy it, read it, give it around you and let's organise a fancy-dress night !

The Book Sill: Paris Avant l'Histoire

Paris Avant l'Histoire by Elie Berthet

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Very interesting reading to more than one respect: as an illustration, for instance, of how ideology constantly messes up with science, but also with history. Particularly interesting is the last story, and the way it was ingested and transformed by Goscinny when he started writing the first Asterix.
