Description
Trois des meilleurs auteurs contemporains se sont inspirés d'Edimbourg pour écrire les histoires pétries d'humour et d'imagination qui constituent ce recueil. Alexander Mccall Smith, Ian Rankin et Irvine Welsh nous proposent trois aventures inédites ; un biologiste originaire de Delhi a le mal du pays, ce qui l'amène à d'étonnantes conclusions ; deux joueurs de la Coupe du monde sont empêtrés dans un univers où règnent la magie et l'illusion ; les tribulations d'un tigre sont la cause d'un certain remue-ménage à Murrayfield. J.K. Rowlindg raconte son expérience et son amour pour la ville d'Edimbourg, le rôle qu'elle a joué dans sa vie - et surtout dans ses romans.
