Inhaltsangabe

Now published for the very first time in English, Stephan Wul’s Fantastic Planet (Oms En Série) is a classic of Science Fiction and the inspiration for the award-winning 1973 animated film La Planète Sauvage (Fantastic Planet).The last surviving humans are taken from Earth to the wild planet Ygam by the traags, a race of blue-skinned, red-eyed giants. Here they become known as oms, used as lowly servants and regarded as savages.But little by little, led by a young man of superior intelligence named Terr, the oms regain their thirst for liberty and rise up against the draags to affirm their humanity in the face of oppression.This deceptively simple story-line is vividly depicted by author Wul with fantastic detail and a stirring mythopoeic resonance.The film Fantastic Planet won the Grand Prix at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and remains a mind-bendingly entertaining touchstone of counterculture art; at last, English-language readers can enjoy the classic Sci-Fi novel that it was based on.

FANTASTIC PLANET: PART ONE: 1Quietly, the traag went near the window overlooking the nature room. Smiling, he watched his daughter playing. She was a small and pretty traag girl, with big red eyes, a narrow nasal slit, a mobile mouth and, on either side of her smooth skull, two eardrums so fine they appeared translucent. She was running on the lawn, tumbling and rolling towards the pool crying out in joy. She dived below the water as deep as possible to take enough of a run up to surge out like a rocket and reach the diving board, gripping it with the tips of her fingers. The third time around, she missed the diving board and had to spread her arms' membranes in order to glide down onto the grass. She stood still for a while, thinking of a new game. At only three metres tall, she was slight for a seven year old. Her father entered the nature room and walked towards her. (continued)
