Le nouveau soleil de teur, Tome 2

The Book of the New Sun #5, part 2 of 2

by Gene Wolfe, William Olivier Desmond (Translator)

Après bien des péripéties, voici Sévérian de retour sur Teur. Un Sévérian métamorphosé, fort de pouvoirs quasi divins et entraînant dans son sillage la Fontaine Blanche - cet objet astronomique qui est l'exact opposé d'un trou noir, un jaillissement de matière né de la semence de l'Autarque. Mais cela suffira-t-il à redonner vie à Teur et son soleil moribond ? Dans cette deuxième et dernière partie de la coda imaginée par Gene Wolfe pour couronner son Livre du Second Soleil de Teur, Sévérian sera le moteur de bouleversements cosmiques - un nouveau Déluge, une plongée dantesque dans les Corridors du Temps - qui, ultime révélation, lui apprendront que les sauveurs de mondes sont forcés d'en être aussi les sacrificateurs.

About the author

Gene Wolfe was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He was noted for his dense, allusive prose as well as the strong influence of his Catholic faith, to which he converted after marrying a Catholic. He was a prolific short story writer and a novelist, and has won many awards in the field.

While attending Texas A&M University Wolfe published his first speculative fiction in The Commentator, a student literary journal. Wolfe dropped out during his junior year, and was drafted to fight in the Korean War. After returning to the United States he earned a degree from the University of Houston and became an industrial engineer. He edited the journal Plant Engineering for many years before retiring to write full-time, but his most famous professional engineering achievement was a contribution to the machine used to make Pringles potato crisps. He lived in Barrington, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

A frequent Hugo nominee without a win, Wolfe nevertheless picked up several Nebula and Locus Awards, among others, including the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement and the 2012 Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award. He was also a member of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
