Sir James Clark Ross and Francis Crozier Adventures in Antartica on TV when?
Come on, it got everything! Love! Amazing seamanship! Bird shooting! Penguins running amok! Sailors vs Icebergs! Bromance! Birdshit Island!
Anyway, I think it should happen.

Lecture : Du bon usage des Ă©toiles - Dominique Fortier

Résumé:
En mai 1845, les navires Terror et Erebus, sous le commandement de Sir John Franklin , un explorateur britannique, quittent l'Angleterre pour dĂ©couvrir le fameux passage du Nord-Ouest. Francis Crozier est le commandant du Terror, l'adjoint de Franklin. C'est lui le personnage central de ce roman, personnage romanesque peu connu, il est tout le contraire de Franklin. Il est un des rares hommes de l'Ă©quipage Ă s'intĂ©resser Ă l'autre aux esquimaux, considĂ©rĂ© comme des sauvages. Commence alors un nouveau voyage, immobile celui-lĂ , au cĆur de la nuit polaire et vers les profondeurs de l'ĂȘtre, dont Francis Crozier, commandant du Terror, rend compte dans son journal. Il se languit aussi de la belle Sophia restĂ©e avec sa tante Lady Jane Francklin Ă Londres, oĂč les thĂ©s et les bals se succĂšdent en un tourbillon de mondanitĂ©s. InspirĂ© de la derniĂšre expĂ©dition de Franklin, Du bon usage des Ă©toiles offre un tableau foisonnant des lubies de la sociĂ©tĂ© victorienne- lesquelles ne sont pas sans rappeler certains des travers de la nĂŽtre - dans un patchwork qui mĂȘle avec bonheur le roman au journal, l'histoire, la poĂ©sie, le thĂ©Ăątre, le rĂ©cit d'aventure, le traitĂ© scientifique et la recette d'un plum-pudding rĂ©ussi.
Mon avis :
Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une lecture rapide et agrĂ©able qui permet de retrouver des noms bien connus (Crozier, Franklin, Fitzjames, Little, Gore, Hornby, Goodsir âŠ). J'ai eu l'impression de revoir des vieux amis aprĂšs des annĂ©es sans nouvelles.
On suit en parallÚle la vie de Crozier et sir John et celle de Sophia et lady Jane. Cependant, l'absence d'intrigue supplémentaire rend le récit assez plat. Surtout en ayant déjà connaissance des évÚnements, j'avais parfois l'impression de lire un résumé romancé de l'expédition plutÎt qu'une oeuvre originale.
Point positif, les personnages féminins sont ENFIN bien écrits et doués d'une véritable personnalité. J'ai pris plaisir à lire les passages sur Sophia qui m'est apparue comme une personne bien plus agréable que celle qui était dépeinte par Simmons. Lady Jane n'est pas en reste et brille par sa ténacité. Ce pan de l'histoire négligé dans Terreur est pour moi l'aspect le plus plaisant du récit. Ah, et l'humour aussi (voir extrait ci-dessous).
De nombreux évÚnements sont sous-entendus, il y a des allusions aux objets découverts plus tard (un gant laissé à sécher, par exemple) : autant de clin d'oeils aux lecteurs avertis. Il me semble que cet ouvrage s'apprécie davantage si l'on a déjà des connaissances de base sur l'expédition de 1845.
En bref, c'est une lecture complémentaire qui égaiera votre dimanche aprÚs-midi.

They made models of Erebus and Terror! And they were inspired by Ross's exploration around Antarctica. I love when people find the Erebus and Terror in normal historic ways and not just The Terror, even though I love that novel and show too. I first knew them as Antarctic ships (and mountains) as well, and I love them.

I would kill someone for the Terror and Erebus cigarette card. I would do horrible things to get my grubby little hands on it.

HMS âErebusâ and âTerrorâ in the Antarctic by John Wilson Carmichael, painted 1847
#I love maritime art so so much#the little birds in the foreground! the whale surfacing! the way the light reflects on the rough seas! the gorgeous blue of the icebergs!#polar exploration#hms terror#hms erebus#art#also:#the date is a little confusing because itâs painted during the franklin expedition but itâs actually about the ross expedition

Some of my favourite things from my visit to the national archives today!!!


Fitzjamesâ drawings on a letter he wrote to Col. Edward Sabine on 3rd June 1845 (click on the left one to see the whole thing)


Signatures of the officers on Erebus (left) and Terror (right) in the muster book


How similar John & Thomas Hartnellâs signatures are đ„č

Hickeyâs name in the muster book immediately after Gibsonâs


List of the British names of places in the Canadian Arctic with the Inuit counterpart on a map showing a route taken by a rescue ship while looking for the Franklin Expedition (I canât remember which one)
