Caillat, Claude. 2001. Le renne blanc. French. (The White Reindeer). 441 pp. Gaïa. ISBN: 2910030822. Il y a un peu plus de 10 000 ans, au coeur des monts d'Auvergne. L'ère des chasseurs-cueilleurs va prendre fin, révolue par le brusque réchauffement de la planète pour laisser place à un nouvel équilibre, celui que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. Mais les descendants des hommes de Lascaux et de Rouffignac l'ignorent. Tayac et son clan perçoivent les bouleversements et les interprètent, à la lumière de leurs croyances et de la cosmogonie qui régente leur mode de vie. C'est l'hiver et le gibier se fait rare. Trop rare, même en cette période. Les hommes du clan du renne partent en expédition à la recherche de nouveaux territoires de chasse. Et se font parfois surprendre par la colère des montagnes qui soudain crachent de la fumée, grondent et explosent, faisant fondre la neige sur leurs flancs, emplissant l'air de cendres et vomissant des blocs incandescents qui dévalent les pentes. L'animal-esprit du clan de Tayac, le renne blanc, qui assurait autrefois abondance et prospérité, a disparu...

The narrator, Qfwfq, spends his childhood in the soundless, timeless void; among the incandescent colors of stellar explosions, he plays with hydrogen atoms like marbles and, sitting astride a galaxy, chases his friend Pfwfp around the firmament. more...

(Seuil (Points), 151pp ISBN: 2020330326) Où l'on assiste aux derniers jours de Qfwfq, à sa mort, et à ce qui vient ensuite. Pour commencer, les aventures des Cosmicomics se poursuivent. De la même façon que Qfwfq y avait vécu l'apparition des couleurs, la fin des dinosaures, et dix autres choses, il nous raconte maintenant comment des morceaux de la lune sont tombés sur la terre, comment apparurent les oiseaux, qu'on n'attendait plus, comment le monde terrestre faillit devenir en tout et pour tout un énorme cristal. Cela se termine par un accident de la route, mortel. Alors, dans une deuxième partie, se développe le Credo, ou plutôt le De natura rerum qfwfquéen, ou Des cellules et de l'amour : et c'est la seconde mort de Qfwfq. ("Dans la reproduction asexuée, écrit Georges Bataille, l'être simple qu'est la cellule se divise en un point de sa croissance... il apparaît dans sa mort un instant fondamental de continuité de deux êtres.") Après quoi, viennent les récits, qui ne commencent ni ne finissent, du "temps zéro" : une chasse au lion à l'arc, une poursuite automobile de série noire dans un embouteillage, une femme et deux hommes à la recherche les uns des autres avec trois téléphones et trois voitures, - récits où Qfwfq n'est plus qu'au mieux Q (le chasseur) attendant l'instant, qui n'arrive pas, où F (la flèche) atteindra ou non L (le lion), qui s'élance. Pour finir, celui qui parle encore, c'est Edmond Dantès, quelque part entre le château d'If, les îles de Monte-Cristo, d'Elbe, de Sainte-Hélène, et la table de travail d'Alexandre Dumas : "De ma cellule, il m'est difficile de dire comment est fait ce château d'If où depuis tant d'années je me trouve prisonnier...".

Chamberlin, Ann. 1999. Leaving Eden. 240 pp. Forge. ISBN: 0312865503. What if the God of Eden were really a goddess? What if the fall from grace were a fall into agriculture, away from the hunter-gatherer life? And what if someone could write this oft-told tale in a ravishingly poetic way? Chamberlin has done so, re-creating a world in which humanity and nature live in harmony, with the former celebrating the bounty of the latter and migrating seasonally among milk-and-honey lands. The goddess is Lilith, the powerful and fiercely sexual force of survival and reproduction. Into this Eden comes an arrogant man who pits himself against the natural order by refusing to let old ones die when their time has come and to migrate when the season demands. Told by Adam's daughter, the bard Na'amah, the tragic story holds an underlying warning for today: that we are about to destroy what little is left of that primeval Eden. Thoroughly based in contemporary research about prehistory, Chamberlin's novel is a gorgeous melding of art and scholarship. Patricia Monaghan © 1999, American Library Association.

There he meets Va, gentle daughter of a peaceful, agrarian tribe. The joy of their idyllic meeting is quickly and brutally destroyed by the slaughter and devastation that mark the opposing tribes' inevitable clash. In the havoc that follows the battle, Dom escapes, dragging Va with him. Va is helpless to resist, and so — embittered, hating Dom and everything he stands for — she becomes his captive partner. Their journey and their strange life together form the framework of the story. Woven in are a stark, far-away setting and a vivid evocation of life eons ago. But the book is also a timeless allegory of the two conflicting strands in human nature — one warm, creative, peaceful, the other harsh, aggressive, violent — and of their necessary and inevitable union.

[not in Og of the Cave People]. 52 pp. Boy Scouts of America. (cover by Charles H. Towne)* Og and Big Foot have located the village where they believe their friends Ru and Tao are being held captive by the little brown "throw-stick" men. They had fought with them as they returned overland from their turtle beach adventure, and though they had escaped that time, Ru had been injured, and while he'd been left at camp with Tao, the two had apparently been captured. They see the medicine man, Watusi, lead the bound Ru and Tao to a place in the valley where they are to be sacrificed to the black panthers of the Moon God, and leave them there. Og and Big Foot drop a vine down to their ledge, fight off the panthers and save Ru and Tao, barely escaping with their lives... full text

[not in Og of the Cave People]. 52 pp. Boy Scouts of America. (cover by William (John) Heaslip [1898-1970])* Og, Ru, Tao and Big Tooth, from high up on a ledge, have killed the tapir they were stalking. But Big Tooth urges caution during their descent, as the animal appeared to be fleeing something. Sure enough, by the time they reach the bottom, they find their prey surrounded by enemy Boomerang Men, and Watusi, their medicine man. Though they are puzzled and frightened by the arrows from the sky, Watusi assures them it's a gift from the Sun god, and they carry the tapir back to their village, followed stealthily by the four friends. In the middle of the night they go to retake their booty from the tree it is hanging on, but find Watusi has the same idea. When they grab him and he sounds the alarm, he tells the others they are gods, for theirs were the magic arrows, and all bow to them in obeisance. full text

[not in Og of the Cave People]. 64 pp. Boy Scouts of America. (cover by Arthur Smith) Og, Ru, Tao and Big Tooth have spent the night in a tree, hiding from pursuing Boomerang Men and their witch doctor, Watusi, and trying to avoid the great mammoth and her calf, who were in the meadow they want to cross. In the morning there is no sign of the mammoth, until they hear the distant call of a hyena, and she rises from the tall grass, upset by the cry. Soon the friends spy the Boomerang Men coming down the trail after them, but unaware of the mammoth. Big Tooth gives out a hyena yell, and the mammoth discovers the Boomerang Men, chasing and killing many while Og and his companions disappear across the now vacated meadow. full text

[not in Og of the Cave People]. 52 pp. Boy Scouts of America. (cover by Harold N. Anderson [1894-1973])* Trying to escape from hunger and the medicine man Watusi and his Boomerang Men, Og, Ru, Tao and Big Tooth have taken to crossing the high snow country in the mountains. Og, fearing an avalanche, has had them all link together by making a life line of their buckskin belts, but in fact when an avalanche does come, the belts break, and Og struggles to the surface of the snow alone, swept down into a glacier's valley. He spots movement, and shortly the four are reunited. They track a wolf for food, but it is a mother with three cubs and they all escape. Then the four cave men find a frozen dinosaur in the ice of the glacier, and signs that the wolves have been eating on it tell them their hunger is over. And certainly the avalanche has eliminated the Boomerang Men from their trail. full text
