"Le peuple du Pôle" by Charles Derennes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two characters, Jean-Louis de Vénasque and Jacques Ceintras, who undertake an ambitious expedition to explore the North Pole in a balloon. The narrative explores themes of adventure, scientific discovery, and the human desire to conquer the unknown as the protagonists navigate both the challenges of their innovative journey and the interpersonal dynamics between them. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the philosophical backdrop of the protagonist's thoughts, as he reflects on the nature of extraordinary discoveries and the misconceptions surrounding them. It presents a detailed account of how Jean-Louis and his companion Jacques Ceintras prepare for their expedition after a fortuitous meeting rekindles their dreams of exploration. The narrative begins with the protagonist's longing for adventure and grapples with his existential thoughts about life, drawing the reader into the motivations behind their journey while hinting at the vast unknowns they are about to face. As they set off, there is an interplay of excitement and tension, setting the stage for both the physical journey to the Pole and the mental challenges they may encounter along the way.
