... si vous voulez bien.
Je ne suis pas une passionnée de ce genre, et dans les romans que vous citez déjà je n'ai lu que la Séparation, qui est une uchronie d'un genre un peu particulier d'ailleurs.
Un autre auteur qui me vient à l'esprit c'est Ian R Macleod qui nous a fait une belle ... ... seek out more by Priest - although Inverted World is the most overtly sf novel he's written. Definitely worth reading are The Separation, The Prestige, and The Glamour. ... parallèles, dont un au moins est bien sûr uchronique par rapport au notre. Je pense qu'on peut parler ici par exemple de La séparation.
Avez-vous une préférence ? Personnellement en tant que fan d'uchronies, j'ai un penchant pour les uchronies pures car elles sont souvent très travaillà ... ... chroniques des années noires, mais c'est une saga de plus de 1000 pages en poche, faut être motivé ! Il y a aussi la séparation dont on parle dans un autre sujet, mais qui m'a finalement fait pensé au maître du haut château par certains côtés ... Tiens, tu n'es pas la seule à avoir aimé la séparation, à voir sur ce forum sur les uchonies Je vais avoir un peu de mal à répondre en restant objective, car je suis très très fan de Christopher Priest ! Et La Séparation est je dirais mon deuxième livre préféré de cet auteur (après Le Prestige).
Je ne sais pas si c'était le premier livre de lui que tu lisais ; c'est ... la séparation est un roman réellement vertigineux !
A lire si vous aimez les univers flous et les fins incertaines.
Un chef-d'Å“uvre du genre 4*1/2

Have you read The Separation by Christopher Priest? It's a great WWII Alternate History book. Priest shows you how WWII went in Britain and then he shows you an alternate WWII. I ... Finished reading another mind bending novel by Christopher Priest. I didn't enjoy The Glamour as much as The Separation, but he didn't fail me with the twisty thought provoking ending. I know people don't like the way he leaves things open for interpretation, but I love it. ... I prefer Victorian England, but lately I have read two excellent World War II alternate history books In War Times and The Separation. I have just started reading a fiction book set in New York in 1943 called The Invention of Everything Else. I have no interest or connection with Eastern ... Finished The Separation. Enjoyed it very much. Starting The Kingdom of Bones. Took two books off my master list that I lost interest in. Should be enough new books I will be interested in this year to fill the open slots. Didn't like The Armageddon Rag so I started The Separation. The story was more about burnt-out hippies and less about the rock group. It just wasn't a story I could relate to. I'll be finishing The Separation by Christopher Priest, then I'll be moving on to Daughters of the Doge by Edward Charles as I'm reviewing it for the Book Bag site. After that, I think I'll be giving Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte a bash, as I'm desperate to try The Eyre Affair by ... I'm currently about half-way through The Separation by Christopher Priest and have to say it is excellent - I can definitely recommend this one - especially if it continues to be as good as it has been so far! ... much enjoy A Short history of Tractors in Ukrainian - perhaps it was just too over-hyped for me.
Am now moving onto The Separation by Christopher Priest. I read The Prestige earlier in the year and really enjoyed his style, so I'm hoping this one will be just as good! I'll be starting The Separation by Christopher Priest today. I read The Prestige earlier in the year and loved it, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this one just as much! # 4 richardderus - I have The Separation waiting on my shelf. I read The Prestige earlier in the year and loved it, so I went straight out and bought another Christopher Priest book. :) Okay...Christopher Priest wrote The Separation and I'm about to dive in. It's gotten wonderful personal reviews so I am really looking forward to it. ... ildren)
Before reading these, I was never really interested in that period of history, but I've since picked up a copy of The Separation by Christopher Priest (having read The Prestige and really enjoying his style). I have a huge pile of books to read (about 70 at the moment), but I ... ... ods
Bold As Love and sequels
Pashazade and the sequels. I would also include Stamping Butterflies by JCG as well.
The Separation

Ken MacLeod's stuff especially Learning The World

I wouldn't say that Christopher Priest has left the field at all - The Separation seems to me to be firmly rooted within the genre (being an alternate history). I know he was keen to be taken seriously by the mainstream but every one of ... ... like a fantasy but it is more than that. It won the BSFA Award.
I also have a soft spot for Christopher Priest's The Separation (which won the BSFA and the Arthur C. Clarke Award), Keith Roberts's Pavane and Kingsley Amis's The Alteration
