  • "Dans ce roman d'anticipation, J. London imagine qu'en 2013, un immense fléau, contre lequel la science est demeurée impuissante, dépeuple le monde et anéantit l'humanité. Cependant, un espoir subsiste : les livres patiemment recueillis dans une grotte par un vieillard assureront peut-être la régénération de l'homme.

  • "The Scarlet Plague is a post-apocalyptic novel written by Jack London and originally published in London Magazine in 1912. The story takes place in 2072, sixty years after the scarlet plague has depopulated the planet.

  • ""One of the first works of post-apocalyptic fiction, this novella by the great American storyteller was originally published in 1912. The tale unfolds decades after a pandemic has destroyed 99 percent of human life, leaving a primitive world in which art, science, and learning are legends, recalled only by elderly survivors. "--"
  • "Jack London's dystopian vision of the future. Sixty years after Great Red Death, a scarlet plague, wipes out mankind, a handful of survivors have established their own civilization. In this savage world, art, science, and learning have all been lost, and the young descendants know nothing of the world that was. An old man is the only one who can convey the wonders of that bygone era, and the horrors of the plague that brought about its end. What future lies in store for the remnants of mankind can only be surmised, and the deadly virus, which kills in a matter of minutes, remains a terrifying prophecy of the perils of globalization and the damage humans wreak on their environment. -- Publisher description."

[4] of cover."

  • "It was the summer of 2013 that the Plague came? The heart began to beat faster and the heat of the body to increase. Then came the scarlet rash, spreading like wildfire? An old man walks along deserted railway tracks, long since unused and overgrown; beside him a young, feral boy helps him along. It has been sixty years since the great Red Death wiped out mankind, and the handful of survivors, from all walks of life, have established their own civilisation, their own hierarchy in a savage world. Art, science, all learning's been lost, and the young descendants of the healthy few know no."@en

The victims of the scarlet plague are dead within an hour or less of the first symptoms appearing. The plague is so swift that research laboratories are wiped out even as scientists are racing toward a cure. As panic spreads, order breaks down and looting and carnage reign. Broadcast stations fall silent. Aircraft fall from the sky as their pilots succumb. 60 years later an old man, Professor James Howard Smith, scrambles along overgrown railway tracks. He attemp."@en
