Used book – Croisière en mer des pluies, Eric Faye

2029: The sixtieth anniversary of man's first steps on the Moon is about to be celebrated. The Moon is now inhabited by a community of scientists and a few wealthy individuals fearing nuclear war. For humanity's ancient appetite for domination has not disappeared... Proof of this are the telescopes installed on the Earth's satellite, which, behind the guise of a globalized democracy, monitor the inhabitants of Earth. A member of a secret resistance organization, Michel Vivien's mission is precisely to help destroy them. But why does Estrella, his lover, beg him not to obey these instructions? And what demon drives Vivien, grappling with a nagging regret for the simple and trusting life he once knew, to use this cosmic Eye to monitor his former wife? In the simultaneously unsettling and serene enchantment of the lunar landscape, halfway between anticipation and philosophical tale, Eric Faye invites us to ponder humanity's eternal wound. Eric Faye's latest novel is a beautiful reflection on what men have dared to do with freedom. Marie-Laure Delorme, Le Journal du Dimanche We must now reckon with this exceptional writer.
