  <description><![CDATA[Kim Stanley Robinson has earned a reputation as the master of Mars fiction, writing books that are scientific, sociological and, best yet, fantastic. <strong>Green Mars</strong> continues the story of humans settling the planet in a process called &quot;terraforming.&quot; In Red Mars, the initial work in the trilogy, the first 100 scientists chosen to explore the planet disintegrated in disagreement--in part because of pressures from forces on Earth. Some of the scientists formed a loose network underground. <strong>Green Mars</strong>, which won the 1994 Hugo Award, follows the development of the underground and the problems endemic to forming a new society.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Au début du XXIe siècle, Mars, symbole universel de la conquête de l'espace à travers les âges, n'est plus un rêve inaccessible et l'homme se lance immédiatement dans sa colonisation. Des voix s'élèvent aussitôt, rappelant le triste passé de la Terre en Afrique ou en Amérique. S'opposant aux ambitions des multinationales, une partie des immigrants, menée par les premiers colons, se révolte contre la &quot;terraformation&quot; puis contre l'exploitation sauvage des ressources. Mais la répression des grands argentiers du monde va être terrible. Et lorsque la pression des populations terriennes, poussées par la misère, la surpopulation et les catastrophes climatiques, enflamme la situation sur Terre, que vont pouvoir faire les quelques poignées de Martiens déjà bien affaiblis face à cette nouvelle crise ? <p>Pour cette immense fresque, que l'on peut rapprocher de Dune de Herbert ou d'Helliconia d'Aldiss, Robinson a reçu lors de la sortie du premier volume le prix Nebula et le prix Hugo lors de la parution du second volet. <em>--Laurent Schneitter</em> </p>]]>
