Description


La Guerre des mondes est un roman écrit en 1898 par H. G. Wells. C'est l'un des premiers ouvrages de science-fiction. Il tranche sur l'optimisme de l'époque où l'on voyait dans la planète rouge la possibilité d'une civilisation plus avancée, donc plus sage. Les extra-terrestres venus de Mars envahissent la Terre en usant de Rayons Ardents, d'armes chimiques et de tripodes. Après avoir facilement défait la résistance humaine, les Martiens dévastent l'est de l'Angleterre, Londres incluse. N'étant pas immunisés contre les maladies terriennes, ils finissent par mourir. La narration est faite par un homme rescapé des premières attaques, qui cherche à retrouver son épouse en errant à travers un pays désert et désolé. Le livre a été perçu comme étant très dangereux pour les enfants car il touchait au conte de noël ! The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, is an early science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known depictions of an alien invasion of Earth, and has influenced many others, as well as spawning several films, radio dramas, comic book adaptations, and a television series based on the story. The 1938 radio broadcast caused public outcry against the episode, as many listeners believed that an actual Martian invasion was in progress, a notable example of mass hysteria. The story is set in the early twentieth century, and begins with the unnamed narrator, a writer of speculative scientific articles, visiting an observatory in Ottershaw on the invitation of a "well-known astronomer" named Ogilvy. There he witnesses an explosion on the surface of the planet Mars, one of a series of such events that arouses much interest in the scientific community. An unspecified time later, a "meteor" is seen landing on Horsell Common, near London. The narrator's home is close by, and he is among the first to discover the object is a space-going artificial cylinder launched from Mars. The cylinder opens, disgorging the Martians: bulky, tentacled creatures that begin setting up strange machinery in the cylinder's impact crater. A human deputation moves towards the crater and is incinerated by an invisible ray of heat. Der Krieg der Welten (engl. Originaltitel: The War of the Worlds) ist eines der bekanntesten und bedeutendsten Werke von H. G. Wells. Das Buch wurde 1898 veröffentlicht, die deutsche Übersetzung von Gottlieb August Crüwell erschien 1901. Berühmt wurde Krieg der Welten als Hörspiel und in mehreren Verfilmungen. In diesem 1898 erschienenen, für die Science-Fiction-Literatur grundlegenden Werk von H. G. Wells greifen Marsianer in dreibeinigen Kampfmaschinen das Vereinigte Königreich an, um von hier aus die rohstoff- und wasserreiche Erde zu erobern. Das irdische Militär ist den außerirdischen Invasoren hoffnungslos unterlegen und muss bei der Zerstörung der Städte zusehen. Erst die Bakterien der Erde können die Marsianer durch deren nicht angepasstes Immunsystem besiegen. Krieg der Welten war als Satire auf die Kolonialpolitik des Empire angelegt und vertauschte hierzu die Rollen von Eroberern und Opfern zu Ungunsten der Briten. Ein zusätzlich böser Seitenhieb war die Tatsache, dass die primitivsten damals bekannten Lebensformen das britische Weltreich retteten.
