Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a world-renowned author, winner of the Prix Goncourt and many other awards. His novel "Oscar and the Lady in Pink" has been hailed by readers as a book that changed their lives, alongside the Bible, "The Little Prince," and "The Three Musketeers." His novels have been translated into 45 languages and are published in huge print runs in over 50 countries.
"A Journey Through the Ages" is Schmitt's grand philosophical and romantic saga, an attempt to grasp and comprehend the entirety of human history. The sanctuary of pleasure and the House of Eternity, the Jewish quarters and the pharaoh's palace, Memphis and Silicon Valley...
In the first book of the epic, the immortal healer Noam survived the Great Flood; in the second, he visits Mesopotamia. Dark Sun transports him to Ancient Egypt, where humanity has gained even more gods and even greater power to shape its own destiny. Immortals—Noam, his eternal lover Nura, and his enemy and half-brother Derek—find themselves in a country that has invented the cult of immortality and subjugated politics, science, art, and all human life from the first to the last minute to its very core. Before the eyes of these three—Isis, Osiris, and Seth, forever bound and separated by immortality—the Egyptian pyramids are erected, the Jews discover a single God and leave Egypt, and the thirst for eternal life becomes a bridge connecting Ancient Egypt with the Silicon Valley of today.
