134 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h40min.
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.

89 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h7min.
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. What makes Stapledon’s writing uniquely powerful is its blend of speculative grandeur and philosophical depth. His works influenced generations of science fiction writers, including Arthur C. 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. Contents: The Novels • Last and First Men • Last Men in London • Star Maker • Darkness and the Light • Sirius • Death into Life • The Flames • A Man Divided The Poetry • Latter-Day Psalms The Non-Fiction • A Modern Theory of Ethics • Waking World • Youth and Tomorrow • Interplanetary Man?

Que bien des histoires, des récits et encore des légendes, ce en quoi vous pouviez croire, n’existent que parce que certaines personnes l’avaient elles-mêmes décidé.

Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever... Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies—free of conscience and guilt. It’s when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress. Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson’s story has so endured that “a Jekyll and Hyde personality” has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own—sometimes involuntary—duality.

One of the greatest satires in American literature, Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court begins when Hank Morgan, a skilled mechanic in a nineteenth-century New England arms factory, is struck on the head during a quarrel and awakens to find himself among the knights and magicians of King Arthur’s Camelot. The ‘Yankee’ vows brashly to "boss the whole country inside of three weeks" and embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot with 19th c. industrial inventions like electricity and gunfire. It isn’t long before all hell breaks loose! Written in 1889, Mark Twain's novel is one of literature’s first genre mash-ups and one of the first works to feature time travel. It is one of the best known Twain stories, and also one of his most unique. Twain uses the story concept to launch a social commentary on contemporary society, a thinly veiled critique of the contemporary times despite the Old World setting. While the dark pessimism that would fully blossom in Twain’s later works can be discerned in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, the novel will nevertheless be remembered primarily for its wild leaps of imagination, brilliant wit, and entertaining storytelling.

The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness. As the peak of European Imperialism, steamboat captain Charles Marlow travels deep into the African Congo on his way to relieve the elusive Mr Kurtz, an ivory trader renowned for his fearsome reputation. On his journey into the unknown Marlow takes a terrifying trip into his own subconscious, overwhelmed by his menacing, perilous and horrifying surroundings. The landscape and the people he meets force him to reflect on human nature and society, and in turn Conrad writes revealingly about hypocrisy, morality and the dangers of imperialism. “Heart of Darkness” is an eminent instance of the literary evocation of evil, and we can see how it might be regarded as a representation of the concept of original sin in fresh and secular terms. —T. S. Eliot The heavy hypnotic style [of “Heart of Darkness”] falls around me again, and I am aware of the poverty of my own. —Graham Greene One of my favorite books. —William Faulkner Conrad endeavored to create a great, massive, multiphase symbol that would render his total vision of the world, his sense of individual destiny, his sense of man’s place in nature, his sense of history and society. —Robert Penn Warren

A young governess arrives at Bly, a country home in Essex, England, to care for Miles and Flora, two precocious and pure children. But as ghostly visions take shape, the obsessively protective governess soon fears for the safety of her wards—only to wonder if these hauntings are a conjuring of her own imagination. In challenging what we see—and what we believe we see—in the dark of the night, The Turn of the Screw stands as one of the boldest and most chilling ghost stories ever told.

On an uncharted South Pacific island, the mad genius Doctor Moreau has found refuge.

Affiche du document Wuthering Heights — Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë

SF et fantasy
Youscribe plus
183 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 2h17min.
Considered lurid and shocking by mid-19th-century standards, Wuthering Heights was initially thought to be such a publishing risk that its author, Emily Brontë, was asked to pay some of the publication costs. Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father. After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature. A fiend of a book — an incredible monster... The action is laid in hell, — only it seems places and people have English names there. —Dante Gabriel Rossetti A monument of the most striking genius that nineteenth-century womanhood has given us. —Clement Shorter The greatest work of fiction by any man or woman Europe has produced to date. —Anthony Ludovici There is no “I” in ‘Wuthering Heights’. There are no governesses. There are no employers. There is love, but it is not the love of men and women. Emily was inspired by some more general conception. The impulse which urged her to create was not her own suffering or her own injuries. She looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book. —Virginia Woolf
