    BULLETIN TRIMESTRIEL D'INFORMATIONS DU CENTRE DE DOCUMENTATION DE L'ETRANGE; septembre 1990, Numéro 3 (17e année); C/o B. GOORDEN; BP33 - Uccle 4; 1180 Bruxelles (Abonnement annuel: 9 timbres à 14 FB ou 2,30 FF ou 5 C.R.I.) I) INFORMATIONS BELGES. 1) Les Editions DUCULOT (65 avenue de Lauzelle à 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve) lancent une nouvelle collection, "Les Authentiques", "donnant accès à la grande littérature d'aventures pour les jeunes adultes". Le premier titre est L'Ile au trésor ("The Sea Cook") de Robert Louis STEVENSON, roman d'aventures classique s'il en est, qui bénéficie ici d'une nouvelle traduction, intégrale, due à Geneviève PIROTTE, d'une présentation extrêmement soignée, et des superbes illustrations en quadrichromie de Newell Convers WYETH (1882-1945), reproduites d'après ses originaux pour l'édition Scribners à New York en 1911. Un magnifique travail de reconstitution, qui ne peut qu'inciter tout lecteur à un retour aux sources de sa passion littéraire et poussera le bibliophile à remplacer l'édition de sa bibliothèque par celle-ci. Un volume 18 X 23,5 cm de 274 pages pour une somme, finalement modique, de 580 FB. Il est à noter que paraîtra sous peu La Légende de la vallée somnifère de W.IRVING, titre qui devrait plus particulièrement allécher les amateurs de fantastique. Les mêmes éditions, rappelons-le, ont vu le roman Le Pic des ténèbres de Roger LELOUP (déjà renommé pour ses récits de SF en BD) couronné par le "Grand Prix de la SF française" (section jeunesse). Dans la même collection "Travelling", elles publient notamment d'autres auteurs belges, en l'occurrence L.

  • Supermind Garrett, Randall
    Supermind Garrett, Randall Published: 1963 Categorie(s): Fiction, Science Fiction Source: http://gutenberg.org 1 About Garrett: Randall Garrett (December 16, 1927 - December 31, 1987) was an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was a prolific contributor to Astounding and other science fiction magazines of the 1950s and 1960s. He instructed Robert Sil- verberg in the techniques of selling large quantities of action- adventure sf, and collaborated with him on two novels about Earth bringing civilization to an alien planet. Source: Wikipedia Also available on Feedbooks for Garrett: • Pagan Passions (1959) • Brain Twister (1961) • Quest of the Golden Ape (1957) • Psichopath (1960) • Unwise Child (1962) • ...After a Few Words... (1962) • The Impossibles (1963) • The Highest Treason (1961) • Anything You Can Do ... (1963) • A Spaceship Named McGuire (1961) About Janifer: Laurence M. Janifer (March 17, 1933- July 10, 2002) was a prolific science fiction author, with a career spanning over 50 years. Janifer was born in Brooklyn, New York with the sur- name of Harris, but in 1963 took the original surname of his Polish grandfather. "An Immigration officer had saddled Harris on my father's father," wrote Janifer, "and I'd rather be named for where I come from than for an Immigration officer's odd whim." He was married four times and was survived by three children. Though his first published work was a short story in Cosmos magazine in 1953, his career as a writer can be said to have started in 1959 when he began writing for Astounding and Galaxy Science Fiction. He co-wrote the first novel in the "Psi-Power" series: Brain Twister, written with Randall Garrett under the joint pseudonym Mark Phillips.

A love story with a steadily growing undertone of horror. It is ironical - in light of the fact that in the preface to this book, Adams says that he "cannot be sure of unraveling the experienced from the imagined" - that this novel was the subject of a libel suit, and the first printings were suppressed and the name of the main character - Kathe - was changed (this proof copy is, of course, the first state with the original name.) INSCRIBED by Adams on the first page "To - yours sincerely." 397 pp. Very good in printed blue covers - an uncommon advance issue. 57321 $125.00 2.Aiken, Joan. THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE. London: Jonathan Cape, (1962) First printing. The fourth novel by this award winning writer, a masterful dark fantasy novel for older children, one which "takes place in 1832 - in a period of English history that never happened. Good King James III is on the throne and the country is ravaged by wolves which have migrated through the newly opened Channel Tunnel." Dust jacket art and illustrations by Pat Marriott.
