Les Bunting barbotent sur la plage de Sandgate. Au cours de cette cérémonie du bain, Fred Bunting sauve de la noyade une jeune femme d'une grande beauté. Et voilà l'honorable famille, quelque peu collet monté, confrontée tout à coup à une réalité fantastique : celle qui vient d'être tirée d'un mauvais pas est une sirène, mi-femme mi-poisson. Un corps magnifique terminé en queue de maquereau. Cette Miss Waters s'adaptera-t-elle aux rituels de la société anglaise, au thé, à la politique, à la montée du féminisme ? Sa passion amoureuse pour Harry est à la mesure de celle des héroïnes immortelles qui tentèrent de conquérir un être humain : l'Ondine de Friedrich von La Motte-Fouqué, la petite sirène d'Andersen et l'Ondine de Jean Giraudoux. Là encore, l'ironie se teinte de tendresse avant de déboucher sur la tragédie.
Born in 1866 in Bromley, England, to a poor family, Herbert George Wells began as an apprentice at the age of 14, but educated himself on his own, received a scholarship (1884), and specialized in biology at the University of London, from which he graduated in 1888. Having become a teacher, but still without money, he will ask journalism for additional resources. His first book is a work of biology, his second a novel: La Machine à explorer le temps (1895), which was an immediate success. One of the pioneers, with Jules Verne, of the novel of anticipation, Wells is also a polemist, believing in progress through science. These trends are reflected throughout a work that includes nearly 50 novels, tales, short stories and essays. H. G. Wells died in London on August 13, 1946.
