Paraísos perdidos

The Journey of the times supposes a prodigious challenge: to tell the history of the humanity in fictionalized form. Making the centuries parade, embracing the ages, feeling their agitation, as if Yuval Noah Harari had crossed paths with Alexandre Dumas. Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt has been embarking on this titanic project for thirty years. After accumulating scientific, medical, religious, and philosophical knowledge, and creating strong, moving, and lively characters, today a work sees the light that catapults us from one world to another, from prehistory to the present day, from evolution to revolution, while the past illuminate the present.
