Summary

Gregor a inventé tout ce qui va être utile aux siècles à venir. Il est hélas moins habile à veiller sur ses affaires, la science l'intéresse plus que le profit. Tirant parti de ce trait de caractère, d'autres vont tout lui voler. Pour le distraire et l'occuper, ne lui resteront que la compagnie des éclairs et le théâtre des oiseaux.

Fiction sans scrupules biographiques, ce roman utilise cependant la destinée de l'ingénieur Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) et les récits qui en ont été faits. Avec lui s'achève, après Ravel et Courir, une suite de trois vies.

Critic reviews

La presse en parle
"Pris dans ses propres sortilèges, sa vie acquiert, par la grâce de l'écriture d'Echenoz, une charge symbolique aussi puissante que celle d'une Cendrillon ou d'un Petit Poucet. Un héros frappé de son propre sort."
Nelly Kaprièlian, Les inRocKuptibles
