Michael Lawson Bishop est un auteur américain acclamé dont le vaste corpus d'œuvres dans les genres de la science-fiction et du fantastique est devenu l'un des plus admirés de la littérature moderne. Ses écrits se caractérisent par une profonde exploration de la condition humaine, entremêlant souvent des éléments du surnaturel et de l'inconnu. Le style distinctif de Bishop, marqué par une prose lyrique et des personnages complexes, entraîne les lecteurs dans des mondes riches en questionnements philosophiques et en profondeur émotionnelle. Sa capacité magistrale à fusionner l'imaginaire onirique avec la réalité le positionne comme une figure centrale de la fiction spéculative contemporaine.

A fascinating and compelling novel of alien life by the NEBULA AWARD-winning author of ANCIENT OF DAYS.
Joshua Kampa is torn between two worlds - the Early Pleistocene Africa of his dreams and the 20th-century reality of his waking life. These worlds are transposed when a government experiment sends him over a million years back in time. Here, John builds a new life as part of a tribe of protohumans. But the reality of early Africa is much more challenging than his fantasies. With the landscape, the species, and John himself evolving, he reaches a temporal crossroads where he must decide whether the past or the future will be his present.
