Résumé

Résumé : "Little Fuzzy" by H. Beam Piper is a science fiction narrative set on the planet Zarathustra, where prospector Jack Holloway discovers a small, intelligent creature he names Little Fuzzy. The story begins with Jack's solitary life as he searches for valuable sunstones. His routine is disrupted when he encounters Little Fuzzy, a creature with golden fur and humanoid features. Jack quickly forms a bond with Little Fuzzy, who displays remarkable intelligence and curiosity, such as using tools and understanding basic concepts. As Jack introduces Little Fuzzy to his home, he discovers that the creature is not alone; a family of Fuzzies soon joins them, each exhibiting similar intelligent behaviors. Jack's interactions with the Fuzzies reveal their capacity for reasoning, problem-solving, and even artistic expression. The narrative explores themes of companionship, the definition of sentience, and the ethical implications of discovering a new intelligent species. Jack's life is transformed as he becomes the protector and advocate for the Fuzzies, challenging the existing perceptions of life on Zarathustra. The story raises questions about the responsibilities of humans towards other intelligent beings and the evolution of human activities on alien ecosystems.
Biographie : Piper was largely self-educated; he obtained his knowledge of science and history without subjecting myself to the ridiculous misery of four years in the uncomfortable confines of a raccoon coat. He went to work at age 18 as a laborer at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona yards in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He also worked as a night watchman for the railroad.
