Sense of Wonder is the show that returns to the classics of science fiction and fantasy, with Ugo Bellagamba, Laurent Queyssi and Jérôme Vincent.
Today back on The vagabond From Fritz Leiber, an SF book that had the Hugo Prize in 1965. A must therefore … unless Laurent tells us the opposite.
“The stars billed in the sky, and the vagabond appeared with the interstellar emptiness. It was an entire planet that threatened the earth. It devoured the moon. We took it first for a wandering star, then it was discovered that it was inhabited, piloted and served as a refuge for a fugitive people.
But on earth, the vagabond had triggered the apocalypse. Earthquakes, tidal waves over five hundred meters high, panic. Unwittingly, without knowing it, the vagabond had shaken the human ants.
-He also had love. That of Paul Hagbolt for Tigrishka, the woman-cat, an impossible love between two species, two worlds, two despair.
Or two hopes.
Prix Hugo 1965, Le Vagabond, the most famous novel by Fritz Leiber, is one of the great classics of science fiction, comparable by its originality and its literary quality to the war of the worlds of Hg Wells and the Martian chronicles of Ray Bradbury. “
