A man descends miles into the ocean in a steel sphere and discovers, in the abyss, a civilization no one imagined, Wells's undersea vision, in French.

This is a French translation of H. G. Wells's 'In the Abyss' (1896), in which a deep-sea explorer meets the intelligent inhabitants of the ocean floor. Vivid, wondering hard SF from the genre's founder. Read it for a classic Wells tale of the alien world that lies beneath our own seas.
