C'est donc une nouvelle classique, au sens premier du terme.

[scifictif]

J'ai été très surpris par la date annoncée - 1930 - mais après vérification, il s'agit en fait de 2 (très courtes) nouvelles parues conjointement en février 1954 dans Galaxy et traduites en français sous les titres "Experience" et "En sentinelle" (notamment dans le recueil "Lune de miel en enfer" chez PdF).
Quant à "l'extrait" proposé ici...
