Since it was first published, American Gods became an instant classic. Now discover the mystery and majesty of American Gods in this beautiful reissue of the Author's Preferred Text edition. Featuring a new preface by Neil Gaiman in honor of the novel's 20th anniversary, this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece. Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana.
A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow's best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday.
A trickster and a rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself. Life as Wednesday's bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined-it is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own.
Les Dieux se font la guerre
American Gods est une découverte des premiers Dieux dans une Amérique moderne. Croyances nordiques, égyptiens, écossaises et bien plus encore sont présentées dans cet incroyable roman écrit par Neil Gaiman. On y suit pourtant l’histoire d’un homme qui ne semble avoir aucun rapport avec tout cela : Ombre. Mais les choses prendront bien vite une tournure inattendue suite à sa rencontre avec le Voyageur.
Un roman plus profond que ce qu’il ne laisse paraître. Un récit fantastique qui présente pourtant des thématiques importantes comme celle des migrations. Une œuvre majeur de Gaiman.
