Ces histoires merveilleuses et effrayantes confirment le talent de Neil Gaiman, conteur inégalable qui manie la même aisance l'humour et l'horreur, le fantastique et le réalisme, la douceur et la cruauté pour peindre avec délicatesse ces choses fragiles qui, dans leur apparence éphémère, marquent pourtant les esprits, parfois pour toujours.
Tantôt délicieuses, tantôt dérangeantes, toujours surprenantes, les nouvelles qui composent Des choses fragiles sont un cadeau, un enchantement littéraire que nous offre l'un des écrivains les plus originaux de son époque.
Si ce recueil constitue une entrée idéale pour les lecteurs qui ne connaissanent pas encore l'oeuvre de Gaiman, les fans seront comblés par cette alternance somptueuse de nouvelles courtes, novela ou véritables romans comme Le Monarque de la Vallée, ou l'interview inédite de Neil Gaiman en fin d'ouvrage.
Les histoires, tels les gens et les papillons, les oeufs d'oiseaux et les coeurs humains, les rêves, sont aussi des choses fragiles ne se composant de nul matériau plus solide ou plus durable que vingt-six lettres et une poignée de signes de ponctuation. Ou bien de paroles faites de sons et d'idées - abstraites, invisibles, disparues sitôt prononcées -, et saurait-on imaginer plus fragile ? Certaines d'entre elles, pourtant, simples et minuscules, mettant en scène des personnages qui partent à l'aventure ou qui accomplissent des merveilles, des miracles et des monstres, ont survécu à tous ceux qui les ont racontées. Certaines ont même survécu aux pays dans lesquels elles ont été créées. Neil Gaiman

«Il est des choses qui nous perturbent, des mots ou des idées qui surgissent sous nos pas comme des trappes, nous précipitant de notre monde de sécurité et de bon sens en un lieu beaucoup plus sombre et moins accueillant.»C'est là le chemin que Neil Gaiman nous propose d'arpenter à travers ces vingt-quatre nouvelles, contes et poèmes, en s'affranchissant des genres pour ne garder que la substantifique moelle d'un imaginaire tour à tour sombre ou flamboyant.

THE NO 1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Bestselling and much loved author Neil Gaiman, whose novel American Gods has been adapted into a major television series, brings vividly to life the stories of Norse mythology that have inspired his own extraordinary writing in this number one Sunday Times bestseller The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, bestselling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive on the page - irascible, visceral, playful, passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarok and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern readers and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be read aloud around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

Entre magie, monstres, mythes et miracles, Neil Gaiman s'impose avec ce troisième recueil comme le maître de la nouvelle.
Sorcières, fantômes, rôdeurs, détectives, immortels, abeilles noires géantes, filles pirates... Trigger Warning est une source sans fin d'histoires, explorant à la fois la poésie, l'horreur, le fantastique, la science-fiction et le conte de fée.
Les histoires rassemblent l'humanité et façonnent le monde, et Gaiman prouve encore une fois ici son génie à les inventer toutes...
« L'esprit de Neil Gaiman est un océan insondable, et chaque fois que je m'y plonge, notre monde s'estompe et devient bien plus terrible et plus beau. » - New York Times Book Review « L'oeuvre de Gaiman résiste à toute catégorisation... Il ne se contente pas de puiser dans notre inconscient collectif... il réinvente nos mythes. » - Houston Chronicle

Dans un village nordique isolé, vit Odd, douze ans, un garçon à qui la chance ne sourit guère : son père n'est jamais revenu d'une expédition viking, et un arbre a écrasé sa jambe, le laissant boiteux.
Cette année, l'hiver glacial ne se termine pas, rendant les villageois bougons et méfiants. Un aigle, un ours et un renard apprennent à Odd pourquoi l'hiver a envahi le pays : c'est l'oeuvre des géants de glace. Seul un garçon très spécial, malin, optimiste et à l'éternel sourire serait en mesure de ramener l'ordre chez les dieux, et la chaleur chez les hommes...
« À la fois livre pour enfants très réussi et collector qui plaira aux adultes. Les enfants aimeront l'héroïsme discret d'Odd et l'aventure ; les adultes adoreront les dieux chamailleurs. À l'arrivée, une nouvelle combinaison gagnante pour Gaiman. » Kirkus Reviews

WINNER OF THE SPECSAVERS NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2013 BOOK OF THE YEAR The Ocean at the End of the Lane is the bestselling magical novel from Neil Gaiman, one of the most brilliant storytellers of our generation and author of the epic novel American Gods , and the much-loved Sandman series. 'Possibly Gaiman's most lyrical, scary and beautiful work yet. It's a tale of childhood for grown-ups, a fantasy rooted in the darkest corners of reality' ( Independent on Sunday). If you loved the mesmerising world of Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus or were drawn into J.K. Rowling's magical universe, this book is for you. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond this world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defence is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

D'un côté, il y a Wall, paisible village niché au coeur d'une calme forêt anglaise. De l'autre, le pays des fées, univers d'enchantements, de sorcières, de licornes et de princes sanguinaires, où jeunesse, pouvoir et amour se conquièrent à force de sortilèges, de lames ensorcelées et de fioles de poison.
Entre les deux, il y a le Mur, une infranchissable et épaisse muraille qui ceint le hameau. Infranchissable ? Pas tout à fait : tous les neuf ans s'ouvre la Foire des Fées qui, durant un jour et une nuit, permet aux deux mondes de se rencontrer. Mais pour le jeune Tristan Thorn, attendre si longtemps est impossible car il a promis à la belle Victoria, sa voisine, de lui rapporter une étoile filante tombée de l'autre côté...
« Stardust réunit tous les ingrédients d'un vrai conte de fées pour adultes, une fable douce amère entre Tolkien et Tristan et Iseut. » Martin-Pierre Baudry - Chronic'Art
