Les caprices d'un astre

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £2.34
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Au hasard d'une visite d'appartement, Xavier Lemercier, agent immobilier, trouve un mystérieux télescope ayant appartenu à un célèbre astronome. Dans l'instrument, il cadre une femme derrière une fenêtre, mais il n'ose pas l'aborder. Divorcé et esseulé, avec pour seules joies ses week-ends avec son jeune fils, il commence à tomber amoureux de l'inconnue.Deux cent cinquante ans plus tôt, Guillaume Le Gentil de la Galaisière, astronome de Louis XV, partait vers les Indes pour observer l'exceptionnel passage de Vénus devant le Soleil. Déclaré mort, il revint pourtant onze ans plus tard, mais sans avoir pu observer l'éclipse.Entre le récit d'aventures et le conte philosophique sur la quête de soi, les trajectoires de ces deux hommes romantiques s'entrecroisent et se répondent du XXIᵉ au XVIIIᵉ siècle.
