Román jedného z najväčších francúzskych spisovateľov. V tomto diele autor predkladá čitateľom zastrašujúci vzor nenásytného lakomstva Grandeta, ktorého obeťou sa stane jeho jediná dcéra Eugénie. Autor plasticky zachytáva jeho fázy lakomstva a hrabivosti. Jej život, plynúci bez radosti dosiahne vrchol, keď spozná lásku.

One of the great accidents of nature occurred in Siberia in 1908 when a fireball appeared over the horizon and slammed into a remote forest area of Siberia, creating shock waves which were felt half a world away. THE FIRE CAME BY goes into great depth and explores not only what Russian scientists have to say about the affair today, but also enlightened opinions from scientists worldwide, as well as on-the-scene reports and interviews. The book makes the fantastic comprehensible and gives the event a threatening immediacy.
