Book Description

0785917136 978-0785917137 October 1, 1972
320pages. poche. broché.  De l'autre côté de la Seine une coulée de quintessence enflammée atteint, dans les sous-sols de la caserne de Chaillot, ancien Trocadéro, le dépôt de munitions et le laboratoire de recherches des poudres. Une formidable explosion entrouvre la colline. Des pans de murs, des colonnes, des rochers, des tonnes de débris montent au-dessus du fleuve, retombent sur la foule agenouillée qui râle son adoration et sa peur, fendent les crânes, arrachent les membres, brisent les os. Un énorme bloc de terre et de ciment aplatit d'un seul coup la moitié des fidèles de la paroisse du Gros-Caillou. En haut de la Tour, un jet de flammes arrache l'ostensoir des mains du prêtre épouvanté.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple premise - and the end of the world as we know it., September 29, 2001
By 
Wandawildchild (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ravage (Paperback)
Did you know that the magnetic poles unexpectedly reverse themselves in the course of time? This is a geologic truth and poses the question: what would happen if there was suddenly no electricity, and no way to bring it back? This scenario is visited by Rene Barjaval in "Ravage". Hauntingly predictive, this book will make you think, and think again, about your dependence on electricity and what the future would be like without it. Fascinating and horrifying and, scariest of all, possible.

I encourage you non-French-speaking readers to find a copy of this book in English and add it to your apocolyptic fiction list. Ever since I read this book (about 20 years ago) I have referred to it in many conversations and replayed it in my head many times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Du suspense d'un bout à l'autre !, January 30, 2003
By 
Djab (Montréal, Canada) - See all my reviews
Le style de Barjavel est particulièrement à l'honneur dans "Ravage". Des catastrophes futuristes, de l'imagination à revendre, des personnages à personnalité attachante et d'autres à détester... un petit bijou !

Si vous avez aimé "La nuit des temps", vous dévorerez "Ravage".
