A propos de cet article

© 1968: A stand-alone novel by Philip K Dick. 1st printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: Sebastian Hermes wishes his future was history. In the Counter-Clock World time runs backwards. People are born in their graves, dug up when they can start speaking, and are reintroduced into society where they grow younger before returning to the womb to be unborn. The Hobart Phase has been reversing time since 1986 and nothing has quite been the same since. The Library is the most powerful and most feared organisation in the world, responsible for the eradication of records from history for events which have no longer happened. Anarch Peak, a black religious leader, is due to be old-born and the Library wants him dead. With a feud already developing in religious communities throughout the world, Seb Hermes is sent to retrieve Anarch from his captors. He must succeed before tensions trigger an all-out religious war:- Review(s): "At long last Philip K Dick is winning the recognition deserved by his extraordinary imagination" - The Times / "Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise" - Michael Moorcock:- (original cost £8.99).
