I read this novel thanks to a French teacher there for it at least 10 years and it is thanks to this book that I really took taste for reading. I eventually devoured all the books of this author and Barjavel is really great. Each book takes us to ask us questions about our society and its future if we continue this way. In short, not too mushy, but every time a love story boulversante melee therein ... We would all be Elea and any or Païkan, the night of the heroes of the time until the last pages .. .
