The Devouring Fire by Lord Gorell is a gripping and atmospheric mystery that unfolds within the genteel yet secretive world of English country life. With elegant prose and a masterful sense of pacing, Gorell crafts a tale where refinement and menace exist side by side. Set against the backdrop of a quiet rural estate, the story begins with what appears to be an accidental fire—but as clues emerge, it becomes clear that something far more sinister is at work. Beneath the surface of polite society, long-held grudges, hidden romances, and unspoken rivalries smolder like embers ready to ignite. When a death is discovered among the ashes, suspicion spreads quickly, and the hunt for the truth begins. Gorell’s characters are finely drawn and psychologically complex. His protagonist—an astute observer of human nature—guides readers through a labyrinth of motives and secrets with quiet intensity. The countryside, rendered in vivid detail, becomes almost a character in itself, enhancing the story’s sense of isolation and slow-burning tension. This illustrated edition brings added richness to the reading experience, with artwork that evokes the mood and era of the narrative. Elegant and suspenseful, The Devouring Fire is a hidden gem of Golden Age mystery fiction. Perfect for fans of classic British crime novels, this novel exemplifies Lord Gorell’s skill at blending intellect, atmosphere, and suspense into an unforgettable reading experience.

The Complete Collection of Doctor Syn gathers all seven thrilling novels in the legendary swashbuckling saga by Russell Thorndike, now presented in a beautifully illustrated edition. This classic series follows the mysterious and daring exploits of Doctor Christopher Syn, a quiet country parson with a dangerous secret: he once ruled the seas as the infamous pirate Captain Clegg. From the windswept coasts of Kent to the treacherous high seas, Doctor Syn’s adventures span danger, disguise, and double lives. In Doctor Syn on the High Seas, we witness his transformation from scholar to pirate; in Doctor Syn Returns, he resumes his life in Dymchurch under the cover of respectability, leading a covert smuggling ring. Each novel builds on his legend, blending action, wit, and Gothic intrigue. In The Further Adventures of Doctor Syn and The Shadow of Doctor Syn, the tension between Syn’s heroic and outlaw personas deepens, as enemies close in and his moral compass is tested. The other novels in the collection explore themes of loyalty, justice, and personal redemption through vivid storytelling and high drama. Thorndike’s gripping prose and atmospheric settings evoke the 18th-century world with cinematic flair. His iconic character—part Robin Hood, part vigilante—has captivated readers for over a century and inspired stage and screen adaptations. This complete edition is an essential treasure for fans of historical adventure, pirate lore, and complex heroes. Whether rediscovering the series or encountering it for the first time, readers will be swept into the unforgettable world of Doctor Syn.

Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon is a visionary work of speculative fiction that transcends traditional science fiction to become a profound philosophical and cosmic exploration of existence. First published in 1937, this groundbreaking novel follows an unnamed narrator who embarks on a journey of the mind through space, time, and consciousness in search of the ultimate creator—the mysterious “Star Maker.” Beginning with the narrator’s departure from Earth, the story quickly expands into a vast survey of countless civilizations, alien worlds, and cosmic epochs. Stapledon introduces readers to entire galactic cultures, collective intelligences, and evolving species that rise, flourish, and fall across billions of years. Each encounter reveals new forms of life, ethics, and spirituality, challenging human-centered views of intelligence and progress. At the heart of the novel lies the search for meaning in an indifferent universe. The narrator eventually confronts the Star Maker—a godlike force that creates and destroys universes in an eternal cycle of experimentation and detachment. The encounter raises profound questions about creativity, suffering, and the nature of divine intention. With its immense scope, bold imagination, and philosophical ambition, Star Maker is considered one of the most influential works in science fiction literature. It inspired writers such as Arthur C. Clarke and C.S. Lewis and remains a touchstone for readers interested in cosmic perspectives and metaphysical inquiry. A breathtaking blend of fiction and philosophical speculation, Star Maker invites us to contemplate our place in the infinite.

Death into Life by Olaf Stapledon is a profound and deeply imaginative exploration of existence beyond death, blending speculative fiction with spiritual and philosophical inquiry. First published in 1946, this short novel stands apart in Stapledon’s body of work for its intimate and metaphysical treatment of the afterlife. The story follows the soul of a British airman who is killed during World War II. Instead of ceasing to exist, his consciousness survives and gradually merges with other souls, first those of his bomber crew, and then with broader layers of collective spirit—national, human, planetary, and eventually cosmic. As the airman journeys through successive stages of being, he experiences a sweeping expansion of awareness, perception, and moral insight. Unlike many traditional portrayals of the afterlife, Death into Life rejects simplistic religious dogma. Instead, it offers a visionary narrative rooted in the evolution of consciousness and the interconnectedness of all life. Stapledon uses this speculative framework to meditate on war, love, sacrifice, unity, and the soul’s longing for ultimate meaning. A contemplative and moving work, Death into Life is both philosophical allegory and a unique piece of spiritual science fiction. It showcases Stapledon’s remarkable ability to weave cosmic vision with personal introspection, inviting readers to consider the nature of life, death, and what might lie beyond. It is a lesser-known but deeply rewarding book in Stapledon’s remarkable canon.

The Complete Collection of Olaf Stapledon brings together the most visionary and philosophically ambitious works of one of the most original minds in 20th-century science fiction. This illustrated edition includes foundational classics such as Last and First Men, Star Maker, Sirius, Last Men in London, and Waking World, offering readers an unparalleled journey through time, space, and consciousness. Stapledon’s fiction is not only imaginative—it is deeply reflective, exploring themes of evolution, morality, identity, and the destiny of humanity on a cosmic scale. In Last and First Men, he envisions two billion years of human history, tracing the rise and fall of countless civilizations. Star Maker expands even further, exploring the entire arc of the universe from a metaphysical perspective. Sirius, more intimate in tone, follows a super-intelligent dog grappling with love, alienation, and the boundaries of selfhood.

Clarke, Stanisław Lem, and Isaac Asimov, and continue to challenge readers to think beyond the present moment and current form of humanity. This collection is a definitive treasury for lovers of speculative literature, ideal for those who seek not just storytelling, but a confrontation with the ultimate questions of existence. Enriched with illustrations that capture the scale and wonder of Stapledon’s vision, this edition honors a writer who redefined the boundaries of science fiction and philosophical inquiry.

Deux comas, deux destins distincts… Pas si sûr.

Si jeune et déjà prématurément usé, il décide de déserter l’armée du travail et de partir à la découverte du monde.

Un groupe d’étudiants d’une prestigieuse école d’ingénieurs en séminaire d’intégration décide de se lancer dans l’ascension du volcan de la Soufrière en pleine nuit. Un défi semble-t-il habituel au cours de ces voyages au cours desquels ces jeunes gens brillants se forgent une identité commune. Pourtant, au petit matin, un des étudiants est retrouvé mort en contrebas de la trace du Pas-du-Roy. Tout semble indiquer un accident. Il revient au capitaine de gendarmerie Vincent Lemerrer, fraîchement nommé en Guadeloupe, d’enquêter sur cet événement tragique, avec l’aide de la brigadière-cheffe Emmanuelle Lutin. Bien entendu les choses se révèleront plus complexes que prévu, sur cette terre déjà marquée par l’histoire, à quelques kilomètres de l’endroit où Louis Delgrès et ses compagnons d’armes se firent sauter pour échapper aux troupes du sinistre Richepance, chargé par Napoléon de rétablir l’esclavage dont l’abolition avait été déclarée quelques années plus tôt par la Révolution française.

Quoique né à Nice, Pierre Champollion est un véritable enfant de la montagne. Il a parcouru à ski ou à pied une grande part des Alpes françaises, suisses, autrichiennes, allemandes et italiennes, sans compter des montagnes plus lointaines, Rocheuses, Arctique canadien, Ararat. Notre auteur a amené nombre de ses proches à les admirer, à les aimer. Plus, il a mis les montagnes au cœur de sa vie professionnelle, puis scientifique : dans le monde éducatif, il n’a cessé d’œuvrer en faveur de la formation des jeunes montagnard(e)s ; en tant que chercheur, il s’est intéressé aux liens tissés entre l’éducation et la montagne. Ce faisant, il s’est profondément acculturé à la territorialité montagnarde qui est devenue sa territorialité d’élection. Dans cet ouvrage passionnant, il met en évidence, à partir de son itinéraire personnel, les différents chemins qui nous mènent aux montagnes, à toutes les montagnes. Il nous en livre, non sans humour, les accès et les contours, les valeurs et les secrets, dans une analyse subjective qu’il a voulue sans fard.

Le Nelson’s bar en devient un jour la figure centrale, présence et repère moral, aussi une mémoire. À travers le personnage de Nelson résonnent un puissant éclairage géopolitique : comment les sociétés s’abîment, comment elles oublient leur promesse initiale. L’Histoire n’y est jamais décorative, plutôt celle qui demeure dans les corps et les consciences. En passant chez Nelson révèle une œuvre humaniste, sans manichéisme, qui interroge la part d’éthique que nous sommes prêts à défendre quand tout vacille. Seul roman français à évoquer cette partie d’Afrique pour y déceler son message universel, cette œuvre nous marque par la prégnance des personnages qui, eux-mêmes, deviennent une mémoire.France Inter : Cela vaut toutes les leçons de géopolitique, c'est humain, c'est vraiment à lire. Site auteur : www.laurentbonnet.eu Laurent LD Bonnet est navigateur-voyageur, romancier et nouvelliste. Il publie dès 1998 des nouvelles, puis un premier roman remarqué, en 2012, Salone (Prix Senghor). Il poursuit avec Dix secondes (2015) et le dernier Ulysse (2021), formant ainsi les trois premières oeuvres d'une Tétralogie de la quête. La revue Daïmon consacre son numéro 6 (Aux évadés, 2021), à ses textes et nouvelles. L’engagé, un dialogue avec Jack London, paraît en 2022. En passant chez Nelson est le nouveau titre du roman Salone, qui reparaît en 2025 dans une version révisée pour livrer pleinement la portée universelle du propos.
