Paris, 1937, coll. Les livres de nature, in-12 broché, 249pp. Traduction de Germaine Delamain. Couverture dessinée par Frans Masereel. Très bon état. Edition originale. Exemplaire du service de presse. "L'Empire des Serpents est une étude d'ethnologie consacrée à certaines peuplades du Tanganyika. Son principal auteur, M. Carnochan, sous-directeur de l'expédition Smithsonian-Chrysler, qui opérait dans le Centre Afrique afin de fournir le Parc zoologique de Washington, de Mammifères, Oiseaux et Reptiles, réussit à gagner la confiance et l'amitié des chefs d'une secte de guérisseurs, celle des Hommes-Serpents, et à être enrôlé dans leurs rangs. Initié après les épreuves d'usage, ceux-ci lui confièrent leurs mystères, leurs croyances, leur savoir occulte en même temps qu'ils lui dévoilèrent les formules de leurs médecines et l'aidèrent à réunir une collection d'échantillons des principales drogues utilisées par eux. L'ouvrage, écrit avec la collaboration de M. Adamson, est le récit de cette initiation. C'est une découverte passionnante de la brousse, des rites de ses autochtones, de leur science fantastique ; c'est la révélation de préparations qui immunisent contre les morsures des serpents les plus venimeux, de poudres végétales stupéfiantes, d'ordonnances singulières destinées à guérir les malades. Ce livre curieux, auquel l'excellente traduction de Mme Delamain a conservé son ton pittoresque et palpitant, révèle au lecteur l'influence, tant spirituelle que matérielle, d'un art médical primitif, susceptible de donner à la science moderne des armes nouvelles contre la maladie et la mort." In: La Terre et La Vie, Revue d'Histoire naturelle, tome 7, n°6, 1937. p. 92. …
