John Spencer

    1 janvier 1954

    John Spencer explore la vie des héros méconnus de l'Ouest américain, se concentrant sur les figures complexes de l'abolitionniste réticent et du puritain ardent de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Son œuvre dépeint avec vivacité les luttes et le dynamisme de la frontière en plein essor dans l'Illinois d'avant-guerre. Par une recherche méticuleuse, Spencer cherche à mettre en lumière les forces redoutables qui ont façonné cette époque charnière. Son écriture offre un regard captivant sur des personnages moins connus mais d'une influence profonde dans l'histoire américaine.

      dans une bien curieuse contrée... Ici, les sorcières ressemblent à des fées, les arbres sont doués de parole et les rêves les plus fous se réalisent. A condition, bien sûr, de les formuler devant le Grand Magicien d'Oz. Se lançant à la recherche du mystérieux personnage, la fillette croise en chemin l'Epouvantail sans cervelle en Fer-Blanc et le Lion Poltron, qui ont eux aussi une demande de la plus haute importance à présenter au Magicien... Un conte merveilleux, à la fois inquiétant et primesautier, au charme envoûtant. Magistralement adapté au cinéma en 1939, il est devenu un classique du genre.

      Ever since the first sighting 50 years ago, UFOs have gripped the public imagination. This definitive work highlights the most significant cases and developments -- from the first reports of unidentified flying objects to alien sightings, claims of abductions, religious cults, crash retrievals, and the emergence of witness support groups. Alongside these developments the Spencers discuss the cultural developments and social contexts of the past half-century, such as the release of the film 2001, the first man on the moon and the science fiction boom of the 1950s and 1990s.
