Blitz: L'intégrale
Oxford, futur proche. Historien est devenu un métier à haut risque. Désormais, pour étudier le passé, il faut le vivre. Littéralement.
Michael, Merope et Polly vont être aux premières loges pour les épisodes les plus fascinants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Une aubaine pour des historiens, sauf que les bombes qui tombent sont bien réelles et une mort soudaine les guette à tout moment… Mais il y a plus grave encore : il semblerait que leurs interventions aient modifié le cours des événements et la guerre pourrait bien se terminer autrement, bouleversant l’Histoire à jamais !
Ce volume comprend un cahier de photographies commentées par Connie Willis.

About the author
Connie Willis
256 books4,698 followersConstance Elaine Trimmer Willis is an American science fiction writer. She is one of the most honored science fiction writers of the 1980s and 1990s.
She has won, among other awards, ten Hugo Awards and six Nebula Awards. Willis most recently won a Hugo Award for All Seated on the Ground (August 2008). She was the 2011 recipient of the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA).
She lives in Greeley, Colorado with her husband Courtney Willis, a professor of physics at the University of Northern Colorado. She also has one daughter, Cordelia.
Willis is known for her accessible prose and likable characters. She has written several pieces involving time travel by history students and faculty of the future University of Oxford. These pieces include her Hugo Award-winning novels Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog and the short story "Fire Watch," found in the short story collection of the same name.
Willis tends to the comedy of manners style of writing. Her protagonists are typically beset by single-minded people pursuing illogical agendas, such as attempting to organize a bell-ringing session in the middle of a deadly epidemic (Doomsday Book), or frustrating efforts to analyze near-death experiences by putting words in the mouths of interviewees (Passage).

I had read BLITZ and BLACKOUT by this author initially before moving on to other titles. Both were very good...what's not to like about time travel?!

Roman se déroulant dans un futur proche dans lequel l’évolution de la science permet aux historiens de voyager dans le temps. On suit des jeunes étudiants qui se projettent ainsi dans la seconde GM. Évidemment rien ne se passera comme prévu.
L’auteur réussit la prouesse d’allier une science fiction parfaitement crédible et une description minutieuse du Londres du Blitz et de la vie des Londoniens pendant cette période.
Un formidable page-turner.
