Editorial Reviews

Review

"massive...impressive...huge amount of valuable information...an important milestone in todays sf criticism. Giving us a birds-eye view of the vast, rich, and yet generally unknown world of French sf and fantastique, it constitutes an unusually bright light at the end of our long ethnocentric tunnel"--Science Fiction Studies


Product Description

Connoisseurs of fantasy, science fiction, and horror have long recognized the important contributions of thousands of French authors, filmmakers, and artists.

The volume is divided into two parts. Part I gives historical overviews, complete lists, descriptions, and summaries for works in film, television, radio, animation, comic books, and graphic novels. This section also includes interviews with animation director Ren Laloux and comic book artist Moebius, as well as comments from filmmaker Luc Besson. Biographies are provided for over 200 important contributors to television and graphic arts. Part II covers the major authors and literary trends of French science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the Middle Ages to the present day. (French-Canadians and Belgians are also examined.) There is a biographical dictionary of over 3,000 authors, a section on major French awards, and a complete bibliography. Over 1,000 illustrations (!) illuminate this thorough presentation.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
refurbishing of the Casino, Alberta Campitelli's discussion of designs for the short-lived Museo di Gabii, the villas's other antiquities museum, as well as b/w and color photography. Making A Prince's Museum is informative, engaging reading and highly recommended to students of architecture and the history of 18th Century museum development.
