La Guerre du Feu: Roman des âges farouches by aîné J.-H. Rosny
"La Guerre du Feu: Roman des âges farouches" by J.-H. Rosny is a prehistoric novel written in the late 19th century. This work immerses the reader in a time when humanity is at the mercy of nature's wild forces, focusing on the struggles of a prehistoric tribe, the Oulhamr, who face the catastrophic loss of their precious fire, a vital element for their survival. The protagonist, Faouhm, and other tribe members grapplewith despair and the challenge of reclaiming the fire amidst dire circumstances, presenting a tale of endurance, survival, and primal instincts. The opening of the story introduces a grave crisis for the Oulhamr: their fire has gone out, leaving them vulnerable in a hostile world filled with savage predators. As the tribe flees from their enemies under the cover of night, they are portrayed as desperate and weary, feeling the weight of their impending extinction. Faouhm, the tribe's chief, surveys the ruins of his people's numbers, disheartened by the irreversible loss and the defeat they have suffered. Amidst this turmoil, there are glimpses of personal dynamics, like the tension between Faouhm and Naoh, the young and ambitious warrior who is eager to rescue the lost fire. The narrative unfolds with vivid descriptions of the natural landscape, encapsulating the struggle for survival in a prehistoric world, setting the stage for the events that will follow as Naoh proposes a daring quest to reclaim the fire, stirring both hope and rivalry within the tribe.
