''The Quest for Fire'' (french: La Guerre du feu, literally ''The War for Fire'') is a 1911 Belgian fantasy novel by " J.-H. Rosny", the pseudonym of two brothers; the author was actually the elder of the two, Joseph Henri Honoré Boex (1856–1940). It was first published in English in an abridged edition in 1967. It was adapted into the critically acclaimed 1981 film '' Quest for Fire'' starring Ron Perlman. The film is not a faithful adaption of the book.
