270 €

A Floating City refers to the immense ship "Great Eastern" crossing the Atlantic between Liverpool and New York. In this novel, Jules Verne draws inspiration from his own experience, having himself made this crossing on the real British "SS Great Eastern", then the largest and largest transatlantic liner of the time. This ship, where thousands of people and the crew live together, forms a micro society and therefore a real “floating city”. An adventure novel follows. Three Russian scientists (Mathieu Strux, Nicolas Palander, Michel Zorn) and three English scientists (Colonel Everest, Sir John Murray, William Emery), are responsible for working together, and have the mission of measuring a meridian arc. Against this scientific background, a friendship and an infriendship are created. The whole thing was complicated by the start of the Crimean War (1853-1856), which pitted Russia against an Ottoman, French, English and Sardinian coalition.

Presentation copy signed by Aragon to Jacques Faizant.
The National Writers' Committee is an organ of the literary resistance, an emanation of the National Writers' Front, close to the French Communist Party.
Led by Aragon, the committee brings together many great French authors.
This publication in the aftermath of the war aims, through the example of an “ordinary” French village, at the abuses committed by the Nazis. Thus, Plomion in Aisne, where on August 31, 1944 fourteen inhabitants aged 16 to 72 were shot by the SS.
The photos of the victims are accompanied by a text by Henry Malherbe and a poem by Paul Claudel. Amusing send-off from one of the most fervent communist writers to the one who was on the front page of Le Figaro for decades.
