The complete trilogy is appeared in three volumes with the editions of Bélial in 1998 - 99, in the Bifrost collection/Stars sharp, in a Traduction of Marc February (with Illustration S of covers by Fred Sorrentino). An edition in only one volume, the Trilogy of Minotaure , is appeared thereafter at same the editor (with this time a cover illustrated by Philippe Gady).

The trilogy

The Trilogie of Minotaure gathers three novels which develop each one a autonomous Intrigue, but is held in the same universe - the Crête of the Minoan time - at successive times, and takes again the same characters partly. They can thus be read independently or like the three shutters of same a Saga.

Large the Autonomie of each one of these three novels is due mainly to the fact that Swann did not project upon the departure writing a trilogy. The three books in fact were written in the inverse order of the Chronologie of the Intrigue: Day off the Minotaur is appeared in first, like an autonomous novel; then Swann wrote the second volume, The Forest off Forever , being held before the first and telling the Jeunesse of Eunostos; finally, little before its death, it wrote in very little time a third and last episode, Cry Silver Bells , telling this time the Enfance of Eunostos. The editions in a volume present the three episodes in their chronological order, therefore in the inverse order of their publication.
