Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a world-renowned author, winner of the Prix Goncourt and many other awards.

The 21st century: a man wanders through Beirut, reflects on love and the cyclical nature of history, and writes memoirs. The Neolithic era: a man lives in a village on the shores of Lake Seine, becomes a chieftain and healer, and saves his tribe from the Great Flood. Different eras, but the man is the same: he neither ages nor dies, has seen many eras, and in each one, he seeks his one, incredible love. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt spent 30 years preparing this philosophical and romantic epic about how a person navigates the entirety of world history. "Paradise Lost" is the first volume of a grand saga in which the healer Noam will experience Ancient Greece, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. He is immortal, an eternal exile with a keen eye, and his voice transforms the chaos of History into a coherent story of chaos, where stupidity and cruelty are inevitable, but wisdom and love always find a place.
