les siècles, en embrasser les âges, en sentir les bouleversements, comme si Yuval Noah Harari avait croisé Alexandre Dumas. Depuis plus de trente ans, ce projet titanesque occupe Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Accumulant connaissances scientifiques, médicales, religieuses, philosophiques, créant des personnages forts, touchants, vivants, il lui donne aujourd'hui naissance et nous propulse d'un monde à l'autre, de la préhistoire à nos jours, d'évolution en révolution, tandis que le passé éclaire le présent. Paradis perdus lance cette aventure unique. Noam en est le héros. Né il y a huit mille ans dans un village lacustre, au coeur d'une nature paradisiaque, il a affronté les drames de son clan le jour où il a rencontré Noura, une femme imprévisible et fascinante, qui le révèle à lui-même. Il s'est mesuré à une calamité célèbre : le Déluge. Non seulement le Déluge fit entrer Noam-Noé dans l'Histoire mais il détermina son destin. Serait-il le seul à parcourir les époques ? Dans ce premier tome d'une nouvelle saga d'envergure, véritable fresque majestueuse sur l'histoire de l'humanité, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt nous offre une interprétation pleine de maîtrise et de sensibilitéBy Carole Boston Weatherford, R.
