«Une rose au paradis» is the science fiction novel by René Barjavel, published by Pocket in paperback (216 pages, in French).
Millions of pregnant women protest against the U-bomb, but it is too late: the Earth is reduced to ashes. Lucie and Henri survive in an ark with sleeping animals, and sixteen years later they live in a world without time where a button suffices to obtain clothes and food. Monsieur Gé, their enigmatic benefactor, is mistaken by the children for a god.
The novel was originally published in 1981; the present French edition belongs to Pocket's Best collection and dates from 1989.
For readers of science fiction and speculative fiction, interested in twentieth-century French literature.
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.
