The Fifth Head of Cerberus
by Gene Wolfe
1972 novel by Gene Wolfe; collection of three novellas
Bien loin de la Terre, deux planètes soeurs, Sainte-Anne et Sainte-Croix, ont été colonisées par des Français qui ont détruit la population indigène de la seconde. Des décennies plus tard, après que les colons ont été eux-mêmes vaincus et dispersés, un ethnologue consacre sa vie à retrouver les traces de cette culture effacée et oubliée.
