Le Grand Secret
Le Grand Secret, c'est l'histoire d'un couple séparé par un extraordinaire événement puis réuni dans des circonstances telles que jamais un homme et une femme n'en ont connu de pareilles. C'est aussi l'histoire d'un mystère qui, depuis 1955, a réuni, à l'insu de tous, dans une angoisse commune, par-dessus les oppositions des idéologies et des impérialismes, les chefs des p...more

I don't know why this book took my fancy so much. If you are relatively comfortable reading in French, I recommend this (HB, I'm talking to you!). It is an easy read. It is science fiction and I just adored it, though I wouldn't count it among great literature. Definitely the best Barjavel I have read- I even re-read it!
I put it on the list of faves, most of which I gave 5 stars. This one only has 3 because it's not such an amazing feat of literature, just a highly enjoyable read.

Enjoyable read, but there were so many parts of the story that I had trouble believing. To explain that, I'd have to give away much of the "grand secret," so I won't go into detail.

Un peu long à se mettre en place, mais du coup, on l'attend ce Grand Secret ! Une fois qu'on sait, on en revient pas... Bon, toujours ce côté libidineux chez Barjavel (les vieux qui flirtent avec les petites jeunes... très amour libre, tout ça...), mais ça reste bien écrit et ça pose de bonnes questions, alors, royal, je lui pardonne.
Une relecture d'un livre dont j'avais un bon souvenir étant au collège.
Le fait de connaître le fameux secret m'a un peu gâché la lecture.
Mais bon...

Vraiment interessant l'idée tramée dans ce livre a traversé l'esprit de tout le monde un jour ou l'autre.
a story about a woman looking for the man she loves, who seemed to have been kidnaped. While searching she will "come across" something huge, the world's best kept secret, an info shared only by our political leaders. A secret that could change the world.
It's a sci-fi story who bases itself on history, but then uses some events to create a new story, where world leaders are conspiring, but this time for the greater good.
It was captivating. The plot is good, and we don't really have clue of what...more

Une histoire éternellement bonne
J'ai adoré! Excelent
Je trouve ce livre sincèrement illisible. Et pourtant j'ai insisté.
Mignon et parfois surprenant.
