Le Puits au bout du monde - Livre 1 : la route vers l'amour

Rate this book
Rodolphe, le plus jeune fils du roi des Haults-Prés, un petit pays paisible, s’enfuit de chez son père pour partir en quête d’aventures et vivre la vie d’un chevalier errant. Chemin faisant, il apprend l’existence d’un puits magique à l’eau miraculeuse, et se met en devoir de le découvrir. Son périple le mènera par monts et par vaux, de hameaux en citadelles, par-delà les prairies, les forêts et les landes arides. Le jeune aventurier y rencontrera toutes sortes de personnages, parmi lesquels les bergers-guerriers du Pays-des-Collines, un mystérieux chevalier noir, un moine lubrique, une troupe de joyeux hors-la-loi et une merveilleuse sorcière dont il tombera éperdument amoureux. Quête initiatique, roman d’éducation fantastique, récit d’aventures, Le Puits au bout du monde (1896), dont La Route vers l’amour est le premier des quatre volumes, a durablement influencé la littérature fantastique anglaise et particulièrement ses deux maîtres, C.S. Lewis et J.R.R. Tolkien.

About the author

William Morris

1,652 books494 followers
William Morris was an English architect, furniture and textile designer, artist, writer, socialist and Marxist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the English Arts and Crafts Movement. Morris wrote and published poetry, fiction, and translations of ancient and medieval texts throughout his life. His best-known works include The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems (1858), The Earthly Paradise (1868–1870), A Dream of John Ball and the utopian News from Nowhere. He was an important figure in the emergence of socialism in Britain, founding the Socialist League in 1884, but breaking with the movement over goals and methods by the end of that decade. He devoted much of the rest of his life to the Kelmscott Press, which he founded in 1891. The 1896 Kelmscott edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer is considered a masterpiece of book design.
