5.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing and thought-provoking, July 5, 2005

By

This review is from: La nuit des temps (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this young adult sci-fi/fantasy/romance while studying abroad in France recently, and enjoyed it immensely. Especially for non-native french speakers, the beginning can be tedious, as it works to establish some scientific basis for what follows. Don't get hung up by the technical jargon (ie don't bother looking up words you don't know), the story transforms to become a beautiful love story accross the ages a casts a critical eye at civilization, inspired by the cold war era it was written in.

Sure to absorb you, despite the difficulty of reading in a foreign language. Bon chance et bonne lecture!

First off I want to say this book has been translated into English. The title is The Ice People. This is one of the greatest science fiction books of all time. I was forced to read it in 1985 in high school and now own 2 copies of it.

won't someone make this a movie or translate it so non french readers can enjoy it?
some modern day scientists find something nearly inexplicable deep in the ice. it builds non stop to a super climax.
wow. what a cool story. so much goes on, but you're always engrossed. his other books are great too.
