Dans cette nouvelle d'anticipation, l'auteur décrit un monde étrange où la mémoire peut jouer des tours... Apprenti archiviste, le héros de cette nouvelle de Mathieu Picard, située aux confins de l'univers orwellien, se trouve confronté à un terrible choix concernant un rêve qu'il fait depuis tout petit : souvenir ou invention de son esprit ? De cette décision dépendra son admission ou non dans la classe d'élite des archivistes. Le héros est confronté à un univers totalitaire où seule compte l'écriture du Grand Récit... EXTRAIT Attendre et vivre tous les jours comme si c’était le dernier est une maxime de condamné. Si tel est le cas, Cipango est ce long couloir de la mort perdu dans l’océan Pacifique au large de ce qui fut autrefois les Amériques mais qui n’est plus que l’Ancien Continent, et Corentin Darius en est le matricule 336246-AA – AA mis pour « archiviste apprenti », ce qui le coupe d’autant plus du futur, l’archiviste étant par fonction un générateur de passé, un grand prêtre de l’Église d’herméneutique de Cipango et de Cathay, que l’on pourrait croire la Chine à condition de chercher dans les mers australes. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Mathieu Picard est né en 1976 à Paris où il vit. Il a publié un roman noir, La foire aux organes, aux éditions Coups de Tête (Montréal) en 2013. À PROPOS DE LA COLLECTION Parce que tous deux cultivent ces perles que sont les textes courts, parce que tous deux se battent pour donner leur place aux auteurs de toute la francophonie, parce que le papier et le numérique se complètent, Le Pigeon, revue de création francophone (Montréal) et les éditions Émoticourt (Paris) ont créé une passerelle. La collection Le Pigeon propose en numérique les textes parus dans la revue papier, au fur et à mesure des livraisons de ses numéros, afin de leur offrir la pérennité qu’ils méritent.

An ambitious and highly entertaining novel of revisionist history from the author of the international bestseller HHhH, Laurent Binet's Civilizations is nothing less than a strangely believable counterfactual history of the modern world, fizzing with ideas about colonization, empire-building, and the eternal human quest for domination. It is an electrifying novel by one of Europe's most exciting writers. Freydis is a woman warrior and leader of a band of Viking explorers setting out to the south. They meet local tribes, exchange skills, are taken prisoner, and get as far as Panama. But nobody ultimately knows what became of them. Fast forward five hundred years to 1492 and we're reading the journals of Christopher Columbus, mid-Atlantic on his own famous voyage of exploration to the Americas, dreaming of gold and conquest. But he and his men are taken captive by Incas. Even as their suffering increases, his faith in his superiority, and in his mission, is unshaken. Thirty years later, Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, arrives in Europe in the ships stolen from Columbus. He finds a continent divided by religious and dynastic quarrels, the Spanish Inquisition, Luther's Reformation, capitalism, the miracle of the printing press, endless warmongering between the ruling monarchies, and constant threat from the Turks. But most of all he finds downtrodden populations ready for revolution. Fortunately, he has a recent bestseller as a guidebook to acquiring power—Machiavelli's The Prince. The stage is set for a Europe ruled by Incas and Aztecs, and for a great war that will change history forever.

The discovery of the New World was initially a cause for celebration. But the vast amounts of gold that Columbus and other explorers claimed from these lands altered Spanish society. The influx of such wealth contributed to the expansion of the Spanish empire, but also it raised doubts and insecurities about the meaning and function of money, the ideals of court and civility, and the structure of commerce and credit. New World Gold shows that, far from being a stabilizing force, the flow of gold from the Americas created anxieties among Spaniards and shaped a host of distinct behaviors, cultural practices, and intellectual pursuits on both sides of the Atlantic. Elvira Vilches examines economic treatises, stories of travel and conquest, moralist writings, fiction, poetry, and drama to reveal that New World gold ultimately became a problematic source of power that destabilized Spain’s sense of trust, truth, and worth. These cultural anxieties, she argues, rendered the discovery of gold paradoxically disastrous for Spanish society. Combining economic thought, social history, and literary theory in trans-Atlantic contexts, New World Gold unveils the dark side of Spain’s Golden Age.
