Description: Guama, l'archipel-monde by Denis H. Duclos Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Dédié à Jack Vance et Terry Pratchett, la tétralogie du cycle de lAncien Futur se déroule sur larchipel de Guama, un petit monde proche du nôtre (possiblement au Nord-est des Caraïbes), mais demeuré inconnu et isolé grâce au miracle danomalies magnétiques et de courants marins. Il porte toute une variété de vies humaines, de flores et de faunes originales. Le héros, Augustin Coriac, y aurait disparu en 1882. Pierre, le descendant dun de ses amis, est parti en quête de connaître la destinée de ce personnage étrange. La légende ancestrale que lui raconte un vieil Indien de la côte guyanaise (volume I) lui révèle des aventures extraordinaires, et lui permet de découvrir les mémoires rédigées par Coriac en personne (volumes II à IV). Lhistoire de Guama, cest dabord la vie dans un univers différent et pluraliste, dont la fortune et les dangers, les lieux et les habitants, sont dévoilés peu à peu. Augustin (qui est venu là pour découvrir le secret de ses origines) est emporté, contre sa volonté, dans les affaires de populations turbulentes et dindividus passionnés et machiavéliques. Au cours de cette saga échevelée, il expérimente lamitié, lamour, la haine, la tristesse et lespoir, et surprend des mystères encore plus excitants que celui qui lavait conduit sur larchipel (la quête dune porte temporelle).Dedicated to Jack Vance and Terry Pratchett, the tetralogy entitled "Guama, the Cycle of the Ancient Future" takes place in the imaginary archipelago of Guama, a little isolated world near to ours (possibly north-east of Leeward West Indies) but which, because of the miracles of magnetic anomalies and currents, has remained unknown, with its human life and its special flora and fauna, born of the intermingling of familiar elements. The hero, Augustin Coriac, is said to have disappeared here in 1882. The descendant of a friend sets out to find him and learns this ancestral tale from an old Indian of the Guyanan coast (volume I), who helps him to discover Coriacs memoirs (volume II-IV).The Guama story is, first and foremost, about life in a different and pluralistic universe, whose wealth and dangers, places and inhabitants are gradually revealed. Augustin (who has come to this place to discover the secret of his origins) is caught up, against his will, in the dealings of turbulent populations and machiavelic individuals. Over the course of this rambling saga, he experiences friendship, hatred, sorrow and hope, and unearths mysteries even more exciting than the one wich led him to the strange archipelago in the first place ( the search for a "time warp").
