Londres, 1872. Dans le monde d’Arcadia, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 a les couleurs du r\u00eave : un royaume id\u00e9al, baign\u00e9 de f\u00e9erie arthurienne, dans lequel les ministres sont po\u00e8tes et les artistes sont rois, o\u00f9 le futur est tabou et la mort improbable. Un jour pourtant, d’\u00e9tranges pr\u00e9sages viennent troubler la s\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9 de la belle capitale. Neige bleut\u00e9e, vaisseau fant\u00f4me\u2026 Le peintre Rossetti et ses amis se sentent myst\u00e9rieusement concern\u00e9s. Cent quarante ans plus tard, dans un Paris agonisant plong\u00e9 sous les eaux, quatre jeunes gens f\u00e9rus d’art victorien entendent le m\u00eame appel, et s’appr\u00eatent \u00e0 d\u00e9chirer le voile qui s\u00e9pare les deux mondes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis :<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certains romans sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des \u0153uvres fondatrices d\u2019un genre. En r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, il faut se tourner vers la litt\u00e9rature classique pour retrouver les origines d\u2019un courant sp\u00e9cifique. Incursion dans l\u2019imaginaire r\u00e9cente, soit la fin du XXe si\u00e8cle, le steampunk fran\u00e7ais s\u2019est d\u00e9mocratis\u00e9 avec les histoires de Johan Heliot<\/em>, Mathieu Gaborit<\/em>, Michel Pagel<\/em> ou encore Fabrice Colin<\/em>. En l\u2019occurrence, ce dernier s\u2019est distingu\u00e9 avec Confessions d\u2019un automate mangeur d\u2019opium<\/strong> et, le pr\u00e9sent ouvrage, Arcadia<\/strong>. Un diptyque des plus ambitieux qui entrem\u00eale l\u2019\u00e9poque victorienne \u00e0 un Paris post-apocalyptique, le tout sur fond de l\u00e9gendes arthuriennes. Autrement dit, la singularit\u00e9 de cet univers intrigue autant qu\u2019elle fascine, du moins dans les intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face \u00e0 une telle convergence culturelle, il est vrai qu\u2019Arcadia<\/strong> poss\u00e8de un potentiel \u00e9vident. L\u2019auteur d\u00e9ploie son histoire sur deux temporalit\u00e9s diff\u00e9rentes, ainsi que des lieux dissemblables. Ce parti pris reste int\u00e9ressant, ne serait-ce que pour exposer l\u2019\u00e9tendue de ce monde et ses ramifications. Cependant, l\u2019alternance al\u00e9atoire des chapitres floue d\u00e9j\u00e0 les fronti\u00e8res entre chaque point de vue. Cela peut \u00e9ventuellement souligner le rapprochement entre des \u00e9poques aux antipodes. Pour autant, de simples rep\u00e8res chronologiques et g\u00e9ographiques en d\u00e9but de chapitres auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s afin de mieux resituer l\u2019action ; autre que les pr\u00e9sentations de sous-parties qui, elles, s\u2019av\u00e8rent dispensables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au-del\u00e0 du caract\u00e8re attrayant d\u2019une telle incursion, l\u2019intrigue en elle-m\u00eame laisse dubitatif dans le sens o\u00f9 il n\u2019y a pas v\u00e9ritablement de fil directeur. On ne saisit pas le propos principal, o\u00f9 l\u2019auteur veut en venir. La faute \u00e0 une succession de s\u00e9quences disparates qui manquent de coh\u00e9sion. Le r\u00e9cit s\u2019attarde plus que de rigueur sur des instants de d\u00e9tente, des \u00ab tranches de vie \u00bb o\u00f9 se rencontrent des personnalit\u00e9s historiques \u00e9minentes. L\u00e0 encore, le fait de voir se c\u00f4toyer autant d\u2019artistes de renom demeure appr\u00e9ciable \u00e0 plus d\u2019un titre. Toutefois, leurs \u00e9changes se r\u00e9sument le plus souvent \u00e0 des conversations de dandys qui portent \u00e0 peu de cons\u00e9quences sur la teneur des \u00e9v\u00e8nements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On vaque donc entre d\u00eeners mondains, jugements surfaits \u00e0 des degr\u00e9s divers et contemplation somme toute fataliste sur le devenir de l\u2019humanit\u00e9. L\u2019ensemble s\u2019entrecoupe d\u2019interm\u00e8des sur les l\u00e9gendes arthuriennes pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment \u00e9voqu\u00e9es, ainsi que des extraits \u00e9pistolaires qui pr\u00e9sentent un int\u00e9r\u00eat relatif au sein du r\u00e9cit. On songe surtout \u00e0 ces passages qui interpellent Rudyard Kipling<\/em>. On les parcourt avec indiff\u00e9rence pour aboutir sur des consid\u00e9rations inexistantes. \u00c0 de nombreux moments, on a l\u2019impression que les histoires respectives (Vestiges d\u2019Arcadia<\/em> et La Musique du sommeil<\/em>) s\u2019avancent comme un amalgame de sayn\u00e8tes \u00e0 l\u2019attrait fluctuant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certes, l\u2019ensemble n\u2019est pas d\u00e9pourvu d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat, mais la lecture est particuli\u00e8rement exigeante, voire laborieuse. En effet, elle implique de s\u2019affranchir d\u2019une approche conventionnelle. M\u00eame dans cette optique, il n\u2019en demeure pas moins que cet univers pr\u00e9sente une telle densit\u00e9 qu\u2019il para\u00eet vain de le d\u00e9velopper sur deux intrigues courtes qui n\u2019exc\u00e8dent pas 350 pages \u00e0 elles deux r\u00e9unies. Par cons\u00e9quent, de nombreux aspects sont survol\u00e9s. Cela vaut pour la gouvernance de l\u2019\u00c9tat britannique par des po\u00e8tes ou encore ce discours sur un Paris en d\u00e9liquescence. La tonalit\u00e9 \u00e9cologique du contexte contemporain est esquiss\u00e9e, tout comme l\u2019int\u00e9gration ponctuelle des l\u00e9gendes arthuriennes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au final, Arcadia<\/strong> est un diptyque qui ne manque pas d\u2019allant. On appr\u00e9cie l\u2019ambiance g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, la densit\u00e9 d\u2019un univers qui ne demande qu\u2019\u00e0 \u00eatre explor\u00e9. La pr\u00e9sence de figures \u00e9minentes du XIXe si\u00e8cle n\u2019est \u00e9galement pas pour d\u00e9plaire. Cependant, on se heurte bien vite \u00e0 un r\u00e9cit sans r\u00e9elle progression ni ligne directrice. La succession des s\u00e9quences rend l\u2019ensemble d\u00e9cousu. Ce qui alt\u00e8re le sentiment d\u2019immersion. La singularit\u00e9 de l\u2019initiative litt\u00e9raire a beau \u00eatre louable, il n\u2019en reste pas moins que l\u2019histoire manque d\u2019une rigueur narrative \u00e0 m\u00eame de se laisser emporter au fil des chapitres. Un roman int\u00e9ressant dans le fond, mais d\u2019un caract\u00e8re formel beaucoup trop al\u00e9atoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
