This is the seventh in a series of seven volumes presenting the
classic works of J.-H. Rosny Aine, the second most important figure
in French science fiction after Jules Verne. Until now, Rosny, a
member of the Goncourt literary academy, has best been known to the
English-speaking public for his prehistoric thriller, Quest for
Fire. In Helgvor of the Blue River (1929), two desperate women flee
their barbarous tribe, and cross paths with a prodigious warrior.
The Giant Feline (1918) features two friends of different races who
set off in search of greener pastures for their tribe, befriend a
wild creature, and ally themselves with Wolf-Women... Rosny's
final, action-packed prehistoric adventure novels chart the
domestication and integration of savage human instincts into
sympathetic culture. Together with Vamireh and Quest for Fire, they
combine the restless vigor of youth, the violence and wisdom of
ages, the species-imperative of accepting difference and diversity,
and the exhilarating joy of defying tyranny and death.
