| Summary | "Les Xipéhuz" by aîné J.-H. Rosny and jeune J.-H. Rosny is a science fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the challenges faced by the nomadic tribe of Pjehou as they encounter mysterious and deadly entities known as the Xipéhuz. The narrative revolves around the tribe's responses to these attackers and features a central figure named Bakhoûn, who seeks to understand and combat these enigmatic beings." The opening of "Les Xipéhuz" introduces readers to the tribe of Pjehou as they traverse the forest of Kzour at dusk, exhausted and searching for a place to rest. Their peaceful journey is suddenly disrupted by the appearance of the Xipéhuz, strange forms with ominous properties that instill dread and chaos among the tribespeople. As the tribe suffers a devastating attack, the story sets the stage for a collective response to their plight, leading to discussions among the leaders and priests about the nature of these entities and the need for offerings and explorations into understanding them. The segment culminates in a blend of awe and terror as the tribe copes with the inexplicable phenomena, marking the beginning of what promises to be a gripping exploration of survival and resistance against a formidable and mysterious enemy.
