L'histoire : The White Council of Wizards has drafted Harry Dresden as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in Chicago. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in the Windy City, but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob. Mon avis : La plupart des sagas aux nombreux tomes finissent par s’essouffler ou toujours retomber dans les mêmes intrigues, réchauffant sans vergogne les effets efficaces. Les Dossiers Dresden évite avec brio ce travers,... [Lire la suite]

L'histoire : Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continuously delighted readers, young and old, for more than a century. This classic tale, interpreted by many outstanding artists over the years, is a remarkable story of one little girl who embarks on possibly one of the most amazing adventures in literary history. Mon avis : Jusqu’ici, si l’on me disait Alice aux pays des merveilles, j’imaginais une jeune fille blonde avec une robe bleue, un lapin qui court et une affreuse Reine de Cœur hurlant à tout va...
