One for memory

I read this book years ago and thought about it today for some reason as I do from time to time. It's message and imagery stay somewhere in my memory. Other readers obviously feel the same about it. Finding a copy of it is hard. I would also like to find it again.


THE NIGHT BEYOND TIME

This is how we think this book should be called in english. La nuit des temps, La Noche de los Tiempos...not The Ice People. Too cold for this heartwarming book.

It is not just a love story. It is the BEST story we have ever read (and we have read quite a bit). We have not found a more touching story, a more beautiful description of what love should be.

She says she does not have any words to describe it. I say I just made one pause reading it: when I threw the book to the front wall, crying. Our E-name tells it all.

Found a long lost friend

I found this book in my junior high library, and even though I had never read any SF, I read it again and again, and have never forgotten it. Off and on over the years I have looked for it, never quite sure if I was even remembering the title correctly. When I decided to look for it at Amazon, I was worried that I would find it and that it would not live up to my memories (as books you read as a child often don't), but now that I have read all of the other reviews, I am dying to get my hands on it. It was beautiful and moving.






Cinq etoiles dans la nuit

"The Night Of Time," as the title should read, is one of those moving, extraordinary books to which I return time and again long after I've read them. Few books have had that effect in me, but this beautiful story of a love, a civilization, a chance for humanity, lost under the ice, has remained with me ever since I read it seven years ago. I will now suggest a title that may be of interest to all those reviewers who obviously liked this book as much, or maybe more, than I did: "When the Sky Fell," by Rand and Rose Flem-Ath (available at Amazon), which deals with the very intriguing possibility that something known as "Earth crust displacement" could have moved all continents and oceans at once in the past and Antarctica, now frozen, could have been located at a much more warmer latitude. This is theory, and the authors have not forced the re-writing of any textbooks, but their idea is interesting, and they have obtained a lot of data to support it. This book is not fiction, like Berjavel's, but it ties so neatly with it that I thought I'd provide those like-minded reviewers of "The Ice People" with a chance to check a short, entertaining, and also very fascinating work. So, five stars for Rene Berjavel's book, and congratulations to all those who have read and enjoyed it. I think it's difficult to do one thing and not the other.

After 25 years, I found it again!

I reviewed this great book in 97. For all of you who would like to find a copy, look to your used book dealers. There is a chain in Texas, "Half-Priced Books" that only takes in used books from the public. I found my copy there and now my 13 year old daughter had the pleasure of reading this book.
