"Les membres de la première expédition vers Mars périrent tous. Sauf un : Valentin Michaël Smith, né sur Mars, élevé par les Martiens, recueilli et ramené sur Terre, à vingt ans, par la deuxième expédition au début du XXIe siècle. Physiquement, Valentin Michaël Smith était humain. Mentalement, il était martien. La seule analogie qui convienne pour le définir est celle des enfants-loups, des enfants élevés par des loups. Mais les Martiens n'étaient pas des loups. Leur culture était plus riche que celle des Terriens. Le premier problème de Mike ? Survivre sur la Terre ! Tout lui était agression : la pesanteur, la pression atmosphérique, et surtout les hommes... Le second problème fut pour lui de comprendre en quoi les humains différaient des Martiens et pourquoi ils étaient malheureux..." [Source : 4e de couv.].

Work Description

Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with—and eventual transformation of—terrestrial culture. The title is an allusion to the phrase in Exodus 2:22. According to Heinlein, the novel's working title was The Heretic. Several later editions of the book have promoted it as "The most famous Science Fiction Novel ever written".
