About the Book

I Sur la grand-route Deux tramps1 de minable allure, et qui paraissaient près de succomber à la fatigue et à la chaleur de ce torride après-midi, suivaient lentement la grande route bordée de palmiers géants qui part d'Hollywood - la cité des cinémas à Los Angeles - et se dirige vers le sud. Tous deux étaient gris de poussière et leurs chaussures, qui avaient dû être d'élégantes bottines, semblaient sur le point de se détacher d'elles-mêmes de leurs pieds endoloris tant elles étaient crevassées, déchiquetées par les cailloux aigus des chemins. - J'ai soif ! grommela tout à coup le plus jeune des deux, un maigre gringalet au nez crochu, au menton de galoche, qui ressemblait à une vieille femme très laide. Son camarade, un vigoureux quadragénaire, dont les façons gardaient, malgré ses loques, une certaine allure de gentleman, eut un geste d'impatience, et montrant d'un geste les champs de citronniers et d'orangers qui bordaient la route à perte de vue et qu'irriguaient de petits ruisseaux artificiels d'une eau limpide et bleue. - Désaltère-toi, fit-il avec mauvaise humeur. Les deux tramps échangèrent un regard chargé de rancune, comme si chacun d'eux rendait l'autre responsable de l'affligeante situation où ils se trouvaient. Ils se remirent en marche silencieusement pendant que le plus jeune suçait goulûment le jus de quelques fruits arrachés à un des orangers en bordure de la route.
About the Author: Biographie - Gustave Le Rouge Gustave Lerouge, dit Gustave Le Rouge, né à Valognes le 22 juillet 1867 et mort à Paris le 24 février 1938, est un écrivain et journaliste français. Portrait Gustave Le Rouge était un polygraphe, auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur toutes sortes de sujets - un roman de cape et d'épée, des poèmes, une anthologie commentée de Brillat-Savarin, des Souvenirs, des pièces de théâtre, des scénarios de films policiers, des ciné-romans à épisode, des anthologies, des essais, des ouvrages de critique... - et surtout de romans d'aventure populaires dont la plupart incorporent une dose de fantastique, de science-fiction ou de merveilleux. Suiveur de Jules Verne et de Paul d'Ivoi dans ses premiers essais dans ce genre (La Conspiration des Milliardaires, 1899-1900; La Princesse des Airs, 1902; Le sous-marin Jules Verne, 1902), il s'en démarque nettement dans les ouvrages plus aboutis du cycle martien (Le prisonnier de la planète Mars, 1908; La guerre des vampires, 1909) et dans Le Mystérieux Docteur Cornélius (1911-1912, 5 vol.), considéré comme son chef-d'oeuvre, un roman dont le héros maléfique est le docteur Cornélius Kramm, le sculpteur de chair humaine inventeur de la carnoplastie, une technique qui permet à une personne de prendre l'apparence d'une autre. Le Rouge y récuse tout souci de vraisemblance scientifique au profit d'un style très personnel, caractérisé par une circulation permanente entre le plan du rationalisme et celui de l'occultisme, et par l'imbrication fréquente entre l'aventure et l'intrigue sentimentale (à la différence de Jules Verne). Ses romans de science-fiction évoquent Maurice Leblanc, Gaston Leroux et surtout Maurice Renard.
