Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Thirty-one years ago, a door was torn between two worlds.Two hundred and nineteen people fell through it, strangers stepping out of the light into a life that was never meant to be theirs. They have grown old in a world not their own. They have not been replaced. And the door they came through has never truly closed.Now the seam between the worlds is failing. The people who came through are holding it open simply by being alive, and the only way to close it, to save every life on both sides, asks a price no community should ever have to weigh: one person must walk back into the gap, and stay there.The arithmetic is simple. Deciding whose life it is has no answer that anyone can bear.The Weight of Mercy is a novel about love, arithmetic, and what mercy actually costs the people asked to pay it. For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and the fiction of Ted Chiang, it asks how you hold a door shut when the far side has already taken everything from you.

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Paris 2009. 1 Volume/1. -- Broché collé . Format 23,5 x 15,6 cm ( 494 gr ). ------- . 336 pages. ********************* 4ème de Couverture : "" « Le surréalisme sans la peinture » : ainsi s'intitulait, en 1973, une exposition de Marcel Mariën. Et c'est dans un esprit similaire qu on lira le titre du présent recueil. Car d'architecture surréaliste, il n'en est pas, ou si peu que le sujet serait vite clos. Paradoxalement, c'est peut-être pourtant par cette absence même que le surréalisme trouve sa place en architecture. Fervents promoteurs de l'imagination contre le réel, de la révolte contre l'édification, les surréalistes n'en auront pas moins, par leurs élaborations imaginaires, posé un horizon qui, a posteriori, apparaît comme le négatif parfait du modernisme architectural. Ils auront encore, par leur regard électif, établi une sorte de contre-tradition architecturale, mais remonte aussi bien plus loin dans le passé. Le poids de cette tradition, l'élan vers cette utopie auront ainsi fondé une véritable exigence architecturale, qui devait, accompagner la progressive sortie de l'architecture des canons modernistes. Accueillant architectes, littéraires comme historiens de l art, ce volume aborde aussi bien l approche surréaliste de l architecture proprement dite (par Breton, Tzara, Bataille) que la présence de l architecture dans la littérature ou la peinture (De Chirico, Gracq, Magritte, Malkine, Mandiargues), voire au cinéma, sans oublier les projets architecturaux en tant que tels (Matta, Kiesler, Marcel Jean, Doumayrou). Attentif à l architecture vue par les surréalistes, il s arrête enfin sur l héritage du mouvement au c ur de l architecture, jusqu aux perspectives les plus contemporaines (Internationale Situationniste, Tschumi, Spuybroek).
