Customer Reviews

Du suspense d'un bout à l'autre !

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".

Simple premise - and the end of the world as we know it.

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.
