Capsule 11#
Destination : Planète Alessandra. Un nouveau monde à coloniser pour des humains rêvant d’ailleurs. Mais il y a un hic : sur Alessandra, les plantes se déplacent, se chassent, se reproduisent et détruisent les fermes installées à grand-peine. Quand la survie ne tient plus qu’à un fil, les colons doivent faire un choix : adopter les règles de leur terre d’asile, ou disparaître sous les pétales de fleurs.
Avec « Capsule 11# », Philippe Pinel nous entraîne sur les chemins d’un monde imprévisible, vers une nouvelle manière de faire société, entre plantes pèlerines, borgs polymorphes et convois de ravitaillement. Un voyage en quête de la liberté absolue.

About the author
Philippe Pinel
83 books9 followersPhilippe Pinel was a French physician, precursor of psychiatry and incidentally a zoologist. He was instrumental in the development of a more humane psychological approach to the custody and care of psychiatric patients, referred to today as moral therapy. He worked for the abolition of the shackling of mental patients by chains and, more generally, for the humanisation of their treatment. He also made notable contributions to the classification of mental disorders and has been described by some as "the father of modern psychiatry".
After the French Revolution, Dr. Pinel changed the way we look at the crazy (or "aliénés", "alienated" in English) by claiming that they can be understood and cured. An 1809 description of a case that Pinel recorded in the second edition of his textbook on insanity is regarded by some as the earliest evidence for the existence of the form of mental disorder later known as dementia praecox or schizophrenia, although Emil Kraepelin is generally accredited with its first conceptualisation.
"Father of modern psychiatry", he was credited with the first classification of mental illnesses. He had a great influence on psychiatry and the treatment of the alienated in Europe and the United States.

J'attendais avec impatience cette nouvelle de Philippe Pinel, l'auteur du Fil d'Arianne que j'avais particulièrement apprécié. Dans ce très court planet opera, on y retrouve son écriture percutante des personnages féminins, mais aussi non humains. La planète Alessandra nous surprend et nous dépayse complètement en nous emportant vers des horizons inexplorés. Il faut l'apprivoiser ou se laisser apprivoiser. Ouverture d'esprit et imaginaire débordant se mélangent en un cocktail détonnant !
