Fleuve Noir - Anticipation 1973 à 1981 - In-8 - Broché - couverture illustrée - 29 Volumes - globalement en bon état - Envoi rapide et soigné La collection de Science Fiction par excellence. Commencée en 1951 s'est arrêtée en 1997 au numéro 2001 pour se transformer en "S-F". Dès sa création, la collection vise un public populaire ; il s'agit de livres de poche relativement bon marché mais néanmoins avec l'esthétique recherchée de couvertures illustrées par Brantonne. Les romans publiés traitent de thèmes ayant la faveur du public comme les voyages dans l'espace ; dans les années 1950 et 1960, plus de la moitié de ses titres relevaient du genre du space opera On y retrouve l'ensemble des auteurs qui ont développé le style de la Science Fiction à l'exemple de Bessière, Vandel, Rayjan, Steiner, etc Fleuve noir pratiquait en tant qu'éditeur une politique encourageant des « auteurs maisons » ; dans les années 1950 Jimmy Guieu et F. Richard-Bessière en étaient des auteurs phares. De 1966 à 1989, la collection édite les volumes de la série Perry Rhodan de Clark Darlton et Karl Herbert Scheer initiée par Opération Astrée. Mais elle recrute également de jeunes auteurs francophones comme Louis Thirion ou J. & D. Le May ; certains sont publiés sous des pseudonymes, comme « Alphonse Brusche » pour Jean-Pierre Andrevon ou « Gilles d'Argyre » pour Gérard Klein. La collection incita également les auteurs de polar du Fleuve noir à s'essayer à la science-fiction, comme G.-J. Arnaud qui y publia ses premiers textes du genre, Les chroniques de la Grande Séparation. Selon George Edgar Slusser, Fleuve Noir Anticipation fut le lieu où la plupart des principaux auteurs de science-fiction français des années 1970 firent leurs premières armes.

This poster features the star child floating in an iris. The release of the 70 mm film helped to make it a commercial and critical success. As this poster was designed for 'wild' pasting only unused posters could have survived. On top of this fewer were printed as they were only used in New York City and other metropolitan areas." from Sothebys "2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was written by Kubrick and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke and was inspired by Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and other short stories by Clarke. Clarke also developed a novelisation of the film which was released after the film's release and in part written concurrently with the screenplay. The film stars Keir Dullea Gary Lockwood William Sylvester and Douglas Rain and follows a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient supercomputer HAL after the discovery of an alien monolith. " from Wikipedia; B&W Illustrations; Stanley Kubrick's landmark science fiction film celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It is still considered one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time. Surprisingly the initial release of the film was not a huge success. . MGM unknown
