L'univers de Neil Gaiman est nourri par les légendes nordiques. Il revient à ses sources et nous raconte enfin la grande saga des dieux scandinaves qui l'ont inspiré pour son chef d'oeuvre American Gods. De la genèse des neuf mondes au crépuscule des dieux et l'ère des hommes, ils reprennent vie : Odin, le plus puissant des dieux, sage, courageux et rusé ; Thor, son fils, incroyablement fort mais tumultueux ; Loki fils d'un géant et frère d'Odin, escroc et manipulateur inégalable...
Fières, impulsives et passionnées, ces divinités mythiques nous livrent enfin ici leur passionnante - et très humaine - histoire.
Sous les rues de Londres se cache un monde dont la plupart des gens n'osent même pas rêver. Une ville de monstres et de saints, de meurtriers et d'anges : une ville invisible cachée aux yeux de tous, celle des gens tombés entre les mailles du filet.
Un simple acte de bonté envers une jeune fille trouvée blessée dans la rue catapulte le jeune Richard Mayhew dans un monde à la fois familier et menaçant d'étrangeté.

This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane:
A dead man on the back seat of the car, and warm milk at the farmhouse.
An ancient little girl, and an old woman who saw the moon being made.
A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile.
And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed.
They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edges of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved . . .

'Even if you're very familiar with the original novel, this is a different experience... so damned charming and quirky that it feels like a must' Starburst
Neil Gaiman's glorious reinvention of the iconic bestseller Good Omens is adapted from the internationally beloved novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman and is soon to be a massive new TV launch on Amazon Prime Video and the BBC. The series is written and show-run by Neil himself and stars David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.
**Includes an introduction by Neil Gaiman about bringing Good Omens to the screen**
Before he died in 2015, Terry Pratchett asked Neil Gaiman to make a television series of the internationally beloved novel they wrote together about the end of the world.
And so, Neil began to write. And continued to write until he had six episodes that brought an angel, Aziraphale, and a demon, Crowley, (the only things standing between us and the inevitable Armageddon) to life for the screen.
Contained between the covers of this book are the scripts that Neil wrote, which later turned into some of the most extraordinary television ever made. Take a tour behind the scenes with a text that reveals the secrets of the show, still has the missing bits and, sometimes, asks for the impossible. Step backstage and see the magic for yourself. You may just learn as much from the scenes that never made the final cut as from those that did.
