Perfect

Barjavel's The Ice People is the most amazing story that I have ever read. I cannot get over the passionate love story, the wonderful world of the Gondawans, and the truth in Barjavel's portrayal of humanity - even of humanity the way it was 900,000 years ago. The ending broke my heart, and the book changed the way that I think about love and how important it is in our lives. I live for finding books such as The Ice People, and I hope you will consider reading it as well. You won't be sorry if you do.

Life was perfect

This book was the best book I ever read! I read in portuguese and english and both times I realized that life could be perfect. We are able to have a perfect world as the book show us, but we are also kind enough to destroy it. My hope from the book was beliving that life was once perfect!! Great book, great history, great science!

One of my personal top 10 for SciFi

I first read this in about 1978 when I was in high school. I have since read it again once or twice just because it is a such a great story. A true original work that captivates and draws you in. In a world where innovation in writing seems now almost extinct, this book is a oasis for the intellectual SciFi fan. A must read. It is in my personal top 10 for SciFi!

My Favorite Book!!

My dad gave me this book a few months ago, and I LOVED it!! I was an incredible book. I've recomeded it to all my friends, but I don't think anyone else is going to read it sonce they are not avid readers and we are only in grade nine! But I still anyone who listens that this is the best book ever written. I don't understand why it's not famous and why it is so hard to find...

Beautiful French Science Fiction

In "The Ice People", Scientists discover a perfect sphere buried deep in the continent of Antarctica - not in the ice but below the ice in the ground. A major undertaking is commenced...dig to the object. What they find astounds everyone - perfectly preserved humans, a man and a woman; young, healthy, and beautiful, these two are the last people from an advanced civilization 900,000 years ago.

Scientists rush to revive they two from their stasis. The woman comes to first and she begins to tell the story of their lost world. It is a beautiful story, and a heartbreaking one. But, as the man nears revival, chaos ensues and things will never be the same.

Thirteen years ago, on a road trip in the heart of California, a friend told me of this French Science Fiction novel he had read when he was younger called "The Ice People"; this was a book that had stuck with him for years and he lamented that he did not own a copy and had looked for a used copy for years to no avail. One of the purposes of this road trip was to hit used bookstores to find new treasures; this is what prompted his sharing of this book. The very first bookstore we entered ended up having a paperback copy on the shelf! He was astounded and of course bought it in a flash. Later that day, in another bookstore - and after more talking about the book - we came across another copy, and I promptly bought it after all of his influence for the day. I was not disappointed!
