21st century. A man wakes up in a cave near Beirut, wanders the city, reflects on lost love, human nature, and the cyclical nature of history, and writes memoirs about his life. The Neolithic era. A man lives in a village on the shores of a lake, dreams of the most beautiful woman in his small world, rebels against his father, hides in the forests, becomes a chieftain and healer, and tries to save his tribe from the insurmountable catastrophe of the Great Flood. Different eras. The man is the same. He neither ages nor dies; he has seen many eras, and in each one he seeks his incredible beloved—the one and only for all these endless centuries.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt spent 30 years preparing his philosophical and romantic epic about how a man navigates the entire course of world history. And finally, Paradise Lost—the first volume of a grand saga in which the immortal healer Noam will experience the Babylonian Empire, Ancient Greece, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. Immortality transforms man into an eternal exile and endows him with a keen perspective: Noam sees things from a unique perspective, 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.
