Noah's Children - Jean Joubert

In February 2006, experiments in the polar zone caused a gigantic storm that buried the northern hemisphere under several meters of snow, paralyzing all activity. A few years later, a young man, Simon, recounts the long struggle for material and spiritual survival that he and his family waged in their chalet in the Alps, in the heart of this white deluge. In their lost ark, the father, mother and two children faced multiple perils, solitude, fear, sometimes anxiety, but ultimately it was ingenuity and hope that prevailed. They reinvented ancestral gestures that they thought had been forgotten. Alongside them, their pets helped them, in various ways, to overcome the ordeal. In the books that surrounded them, and from which the father read a few pages each evening by the fire, they also learned lessons of love and courage. A futuristic novel, an adventure story, an ecological fable, this book is also a meditation on the fragility of the world in which we live, and like a survival manual for the future castaways of industrial society.
