Description: Les chiffres parlent pour lui : 350 millions d’ouvrages vendus depuis la publication de son premier roman en 1974, un corpus d'une cinquantaine de romans et deux cents nouvelles... Stephen King, c’est aussi plus de 80 transpositions de ses écrits sur grand et petit écrans à travers le monde, ce qui fait de lui l’auteur vivant le plus adapté. Son empreinte sur la pop culture, immense, indélébile, se manifeste à travers de multiples œuvres marquantes, du Carrie de Brian de Palma à la première saison de Mr Mercedes en passant par les chemins détournés du Shining de Stanley Kubrick. Ses excroissances télévisuelles (Les Vampires de Salem, « Il » est revenu...) ont traumatisé plusieurs générations. Les projections de ses tropes sous toutes leurs formes ont balisé notre façon d'appréhender le fantastique, l'horreur... comme le cinéma d'exploitation dans son ensemble, de la série B à la série Z. Pour écrire ce guide exhaustif, les deux auteurs ne se sont rien épargnés : les 4413 pages du cycle de la Tour Sombre, les 5 saisons de la série Haven, les 10 films de la saga des Enfants du Maïs, et même les 19 heures du soap opera indien vaguement inspiré de Ça. Qu’ils aiment ses livres, ses films, ou les deux, les fans de Stephen King trouveront dans ces pages la totalité des adaptations des romans de Stephen King, décortiquées et mises en rapport avec l’œuvre originale. UN MUST HAVE POUR TOUS LES FANS DU KING.

Description: If you are looking to brush up on your literary knowledge, check a favorite author's work, or see a year's bestsellers at a glance, The Chronology of American Literature is the perfect resource. At once an authoritative reference and an ideal browser's guide, this book outlines the indispensable information in America's rich literary past--from major publications to lesser-known gems--while also identifying larger trends along the literary timeline. Who wrote the first published book in America? When did Edgar Allan Poe achieve notoriety as a mystery writer? What was Hemingway's breakout title? With more than 8,000 works by 5,000 authors, The Chronology makes it easy to find answers to these questions and more. Authors and their works are grouped within each year by category: fiction and nonfiction; poems; drama; literary criticism; and publishing events. Short, concise entries describe an author's major works for a particular year while placing them within the larger context of that writer's career. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of some of America's most prominent writers. Perhaps most important, The Chronology offers an invaluable line through our literary past, tying literature to the American experience--war and peace, boom and bust, and reaction to social change. You'll find everything here from Benjamin Franklin's "Experiments and Observations on Electricity," to Davy Crockett's first memoir; from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" to Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome; from meditations by James Weldon Johnson and James Agee to poetry by Elizabeth Bishop. Also included here are seminal works by authors such as Rachel Carson, Toni Morrison, John Updike, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lavishly illustrated--and rounded out with handy bestseller lists throughout the twentieth century, lists of literary awards and prizes, and authors' birth and death dates--The Chronology of American Literature belongs on the shelf of every bibliophile and literary enthusiast. It is the essential link to our literary past and present.

Description: With 140 fewer pages than the fourth edition, the fifth obviously has been tightened; it's partly in the format, with narrower margins and less white space. Otherwise, some text has been rephrased or rearranged and topics (for example, adolescent psychology) given shorter shrift. Coverage of Holocaust literature has been expanded, and discussion of problem novels improved. Sports books have been dumped in with humor, movies, and other stuff, including humorous poetry, which, it seems, the authors feel is the only kind teens read for pleasure; other types of poetry as well as short stories and drama are relegated to the English classroom, coverage of which has been enlarged. The chapter on sf and fantasy is good on historical aspects but weak on today's writers. A short list of Internet listserves and Web sites has been incorporated as part of using YA literature in the library. Once again, updating of appendixes seems spotty. Nevertheless, this is useful as a resource for youth librarians and a tool for teaching YA literature. Sally Estes.
