About This Book

Le récit suit le périple à travers le nord de l'Inde d'une maison mobile mûe à la vapeur et des voyageurs qui l'occupent, enchaînant épisodes d'exploration, de poursuites et d'affrontements. La narration confronte rencontres avec populations locales, monuments et jungles, incidents mécaniques, attaques et chasses à l'homme autour d'un chef rebelle pour lequel une prime est offerte. Alternant tableaux de paysage, scènes d'action et détails techniques, l'œuvre mêle suspense, observations sociales et méditations sur les effets du progrès et des révoltes sur les communautés traversées.
