Nos posts se sont croisés :-)<p>Et comme la référence des Letters t'intéresse:<p><i>I have, I suppose, constructed an imaginary time, but kept my feet on my own mother-earth for place. I prefer that to the contemporary mode of seeking remote globes in 'space'. However curious, they are alien, and not lovable with the love of blood-kin. Middle-earth is ... not my own invention. It is a modernization or alteration ... of an old word for the inhabited world of Men, the oikoumene .... Many reviewers seem to assume that Middle-earth is another planet! (Letters, n°211, p. 283)</i><p>Cette citation, viens de l'article de Didier sur l'Uchronie:<br><a href="http://www.jrrvf.com/~hisweloke/site/articles/mythes/definitions/uchronie.html">Question de définition: Chronique d'Uchronie</a><p>Vinch' :)<br>
