    In this article I will describe an episode in the history of mathematics, very much restricted in content and in time: the origins of the homotopy theory of fibre spaces, roughly from 1935 to 1950. My account, following as closely as possible my oral presentation, will describe the episode more or less as I experienced it myself and will thus have a somewhat personal flavour.
