Narration In Favor Of Books Malevil
À la suite d'une explosion, sans doute nucléaire, qui a selon toute vraisemblance ravagé la Terre entière, Emmanuel Comte et ses six compagnons font du château de Malevil, dont la profonde cave leur a permis de survivre, la base de départ de leurs efforts de reconstruction de la civilisation, qui passera également par l'affrontement avec d'autres groupes de survivants, que ce soient des bandes errantes ou des groupes structurés nomades ou sédentaires.La qualification de science-fiction peut être considérée comme exagérée, concernant ce roman, puisque seule la situation de départ (la destruction de la civilisation humaine par une explosion d'origine inconnue) rejoint le thème post-apocalyptique, alors très populaire en science-fiction. Tout le reste du roman raconte comment un groupe de survivants miraculés relève le défi de la reconstruction d'une société humaine. De ce point de vue, on peut dire que le roman relève du genre de la robinsonade.
De nombreux thèmes sont abordés dans ce roman : la religion, la politique, la place des femmes dans la société, le monde rural, le rôle du chef, certes sous l'angle d'une mini-communauté mais qui renvoient à notre société.

Post-apocalyptic novels are really studies in human nature and provoke introspection. When society crumbles and man is reduced to nothing, does his nature change? Does he continue to hold on to values of decency, or is it necessary to revert to a bestial state in order to survive? This is the essence of what fascinates readers about PA novels. Malevil makes us ponder these things. The cast of characters are everyday people, easy to relate with. The setting, an old castle in the FrenchClassic. Deserves to be reprinted for another generation
What a mess.I really need to do better research on what novel I will read next aloud to my wife, especially when said work is on the wrong side of 500+ pages. Ostensibly, this stinker looked to have all of the right pieces of a ripping yarn - even if it might be dated (early '70s) and containing an overdone topic (survivors of nuclear holocaust), the high ratings here on GR and the "23 WEEKS ON INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER'S LIST!!" prominently displayed on its cover pushed it over the edge. God,
My favorite after-the-unthinkable happens book. I first read it in the 70s and at least once a decade since.
A solid and epic book. Rural France, the seventies, a bunch of school friends escape total nuclear destruction and establish themselves in a medieval castle. The world is burnt and wasted, there is no one around, and they try to organize. Emmanuel, a born leader, is also the storyteller (though another character brings occasional corrections to his tale). He's good, but also fierce in his instincts, and cunning. The story itself plays out a bit like a western, and lets us root for the heroes
I read this book as a youth and decided to re-read it along with two other Nuclear Apocalypse novels I read as tween/teen. So how did it hold up? Not sure how I would have even found this book back in 1976 or 1977 when I first read it. Probably because I had a great library system in St. Louis County, MO. The book is a great human story of a group of survivors. Similar to Alas Babylon it has a small focus. It is not concerned with the great sweep of history but rather how people deal with,
