The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney presents a dramatic pulp-style illustration against a pale cream background. At the center, a man in a wrinkled green shirt and striped pants stands in a tense, rigid pose, holding an unconscious or lifeless woman in his arms. His expression is grim, his gaze lifted upward as if searching the sky or facing an unseen threat. The woman, clad in a white dress, hangs limply, her dark hair cascading over his arm, her head tilted back to expose her neck and face in shadow. Her legs and arms dangle, emphasizing vulnerability and helplessness. The background shows a cloudy, ominous sky streaked with pale green and gray, with a series of telephone poles receding into the distance, reinforcing a small-town or suburban American setting.
Typography dominates the upper half. The title, the BODY SNATCHERS, is printed in large bold letters, “the” in lowercase black, while “BODY SNATCHERS” is in uppercase magenta, commanding immediate attention. Above the title, a tagline reads: “The year’s most original story of suspense,” suggesting novelty and intensity. Below, in smaller italicized black text: “Was this his woman—or an alien life form?” directly introduces the novel’s theme of paranoia and identity. The author’s name, JACK FINNEY, is positioned to the right in bold black capitals. In the top left corner, a purple badge reads “FIRST EDITION 42,” and in the opposite corner the price “25¢” is printed inside a red circle.

Funny thing: although I had images of the 1956 film while reading the novel, I couldn't help thinking of Leonard Nimoy for the character of the psychiatrist 🙃

Leonard Nimoy in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

I've finally read Body Snatchers! 🌱 🌌

Very captivating, even if you've seen the 1956 film. The story is more detailed, as are the main character's thoughts.

And there are a few surprises 😀

Trouvé à pas cher ! 😀

Peut-être ma prochaine lecture 📖 🌱

Saviez-vous que le titre français du roman avait d'abord été "Graines d'épouvantes" ? Avant d'être renommé L'Invasion des Profanateurs (à cause de la VF du film)

McCarthy & Finney always denied the rumour that it was a statement against, um... McCarthyism. Progressive Don Siegel, however, asserts that political references to McCarthy & totalitarianism are inescapable, even though he tried not to overplay them.

📀A l’étude un Blu-ray UltraHD 4K en 2023 chez #RiminiEditions de "L’invasion des Profanateurs" de #PhilipKaufman avec #DonaldSuntherland remake culte de 1978 toujours d’après le roman d’anticipation de #JackFinney. En plus #PotemkineFilms doit sortir le film de #DonSiegel en Haute Définition.📀

Et si vos proches n'étaient pas vos proches ? Dans ce roman primo paru en 1955 et revu par son auteur, d'étranges événements semblent frappés la population. Hystérie collective ou pas, le docteur Miles Boise Bennell est au coeur du phénomène.

Body Snatchers, traduit sous l'invasion des profanateurs, de Jack Finney, classique du genre, a bénéficié en mai dernier d'une nouvelle traduction de Michel Lebrun aux éditions Le Belial

Et couverture d'Aurélien Police

「おまえを愛していないわけじゃないんだ。もちろん、愛しているさ。それはほかの人たちが、金持とか、盲目の人とか、囚人とか、大統領とかに対して持つ感情と同じなんだ。夫が最終的に妻に対して持つ、きわめて自然な、いわばお決まりの愛情っていうだけさ。だから、ときどきぼくが、ちょっぴりきみを認めたように見えても、そこはわかってくれなくちゃ」
