«Le grand secret» is the science fiction novel by René Barjavel, published by Presses Pocket in paperback (376 pages, in French).
A mystery that since 1955 the leaders of the great powers have shared in secret, and which has nothing to do with war or the H-bomb, conditions the course of history. The novel also follows a couple separated by an extraordinary event and reunited under exceptional circumstances.
The work was originally published in 1973 and won the Prix Maison de la Presse. This paperback edition is from 1979.
For readers of classic science fiction and novels that combine romance, political mystery and futuristic speculation.
René Barjavel was a French author, journalist and critic who may have been the first to think of the grandfather paradox in time travel. He was born in Nyons, a town in the Drôme department in southeastern France. He is best known as a science fiction author, whose work often involved the fall of civilisation due to technocratic hubris and the madness of war, but who also favoured themes emphasising the durability of love.
