Esta es la epopeya de Naoh y de sus fieles compañeros Gaw y Namm, que en los albores de la humanidad, y luchando con las más terribles bestias, con sus propios ancestros y consigo mismo, consiguieron ascender un nuevo peldaño en el camino de la evolución. Quest for Fire (1911) is one a cycle of prehistoric novels by French author J. H. Rosny-Aine and is his best known work and considered a classic of prehistoric fiction. It is about the struggle for possessing fire, while other titles dealt in a similar way with possessing women and land. It's been described as poetic. This is probably more so in the French, nevertheless the English translation is entertaining. The scenes with the Red and Blue men are dream-like, almost drug induced, but most of it has an atmospheric naturalism with many descriptions of plants, animals and geography. The novel is bursting with wildlife. Philosophically it is Social Darwinism with a survival of the fittest explanation of events (Darwin never advocated survival of the fittest rather it was a theory of Herbert Spencer). Throughout the story the toughest and smartest prevail. However we see compassion and morality emerge like a small flame in a sea of darkness. Although the Hairy Brothers are tough and smart, no one in the tribe wants them to prevail because they lack morality, something the hero Naoh has. There is legitimate Darwinism here and that makes it successful. J'avais gardé de bons souvenirs de mes premières lectures du temps de ma tendre enfance. Mais il a fallu que je le retrouve dans le carton où il avait été remisé pendant plus de dix ans pour que je me souvienne qu'il était indigne d'un tel traitement. Par son style, par son intrigue et par son ambiance, il s'agit d'un classique parmi les classiques, qui convient aux jeunes lecteurs comme aux plus vénérables des rats de bibliothèque. Une oeuvre incontournable. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
