Rosny aîné, pionnier de la science fiction francophone, et paru pour la première fois en France en 1909. Ce roman fut partiellement publié à partir de juillet 1909 dans le journal Je sais tout, ainsi que dans deux autres revues, en 1909 et 1910. Il remporta un important succès et a suscité de nombreuses adaptations cinématographiques dont celle de Jean-Jacques Annaud en 1982. Depuis des générations, la vie de la tribu des Oulhamrs s'est organisée autour du feu. Mais s'ils savent conserver les braises et attiser les flammes, ils sont en revanche incapables d'allumer le feu, qu'ils conservent précieusement dans trois cages gardées jour et nuit par quatre femmes et deux guerriers. Or un jour, au cours d'un affrontement sauvage avec une tribu ennemie, les cages où brûlait le Feu, source de vie, sont détruites. C'est la catastrophe. Vaincu, le clan fuit derrière son chef Faouhm, en proie au froid et à la nuit. En désespoir de cause, celui-ci promet alors sa nièce Gammla ainsi que le bâton du commandement au guerrier qui rapportera le feu à la tribu...

Quest for Fire is about the struggle for possessing fire, while other titles dealt in a similar way with possessing women and land. There is legitimate Darwinism here and that makes it successful.

Download or read book The Time Traders written by Andre Norton and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If it is possible to conquer space, then perhaps it is also possible to conquer time. At least that was the theory American scientists were exploring in an effort to explain the new sources of knowledge the Russians possessed. Perhaps Russian scientists had discovered how to transport themselves back in time in order to learn long-forgotten secrets of the past. That was why young Ross Murdock, above average in intelligence but a belligerently independent nonconformist, found himself on a "hush-hush" government project at a secret base in the Arctic. The very qualities that made him a menace in civilized society were valuable traits in a man who must successfully act the part of a merchant trader of the Beaker people during the Bronze Age.
