Summary: "Le Voyage Immobile, suivi d'autres Histoires singulières" by Maurice Renard is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work embarks on a thematic exploration of what Renard refers to as “logical wonder,” blending elements of fantasy and rationality. It invites readers to experience the uncanny intersections of science and the extraordinary, as seen through the varied narratives within the collection. At the start of "Le Voyage Immobile," we meet an unnamed man who awakens aboard a yacht called "Océanide". He has no memory of his circumstances, having survived a maritime disaster, which raises questions about his identity and past experiences. His rescuers, Gaétan and Gérald, attempt to unravel the mystery of how he came to be in such a predicament. The narrative discusses a recent explosion that led to his unconscious state and hints at a fantastical journey ahead, as they share accounts of a meteor that had previously crossed their path. Thus, the opening sets a tone of suspense and curiosity while establishing the backdrop for Renard's exploration of the fantastical and the logical elements within the storytelling.
