Barjavel translates the myth of the star-crossed lovers to the icy steppes of Antarctica and produces a literary classic.

In the silent white expanses of Antarctica, the members of a French polar expedition are engaged in collecting samples from the ice sheet, which in places is over 1,000 metres thick and whose deepest layers date back 900,000 years. Suddenly, the unthinkable happens - their probes detect a signal coming from ground level. There can be no possible doubt: there is a transmitter beneath the ice.

The news comes as a bombshell, and makes the front pages across the planet: ‘Polar mystery’, ‘City under the ice’, ‘Heart sheathed in ice’... What will the scientists and technical experts, hailing from the world over, discover when they bore into the ice to penetrate the mystery?

La Nuit des temps is simultaneously an investigative report, an epic adventure and a passionate hymn to love. The tragic destiny of Eléa and Païkan, our very distant ancestors, is the searing heartbeat of this universal drama, elevating them directly to the mythical pantheon of blessed but accursed lovers, alongside Orpheus and Eurydice, Romeo and Juliet, and Tristan and Isolde. All those whom even death was incapable of separating.
