Simply the best SciFi romance I have ever read. This would make a great movie. It has science, history, romance, politics, media skullduggery..
The setting is only a little bit dated and could easily be updated current events because the story is timeless.

2.5 stars. Found this book on a list of 'best science fiction stories that you have never heard of' or something similar. It had a decent premise, two people from an advanced civilization that disappeared 900,000 years ago are found frozen in Antarctica and revived. The book was okay and a decent read but not worthy of inclusion on a 'best' list (in my opinion at least).

This is a confusing book to rate. There is much in 'The Ice People' that is not good. The characters feel like mouthpieces. The plot is more convenient than organic. And yet I can't deny that there is something strangely unsettling about the book, and not necessarily in a bad way.
'The Ice People' (translated from the French 'La Nuit des Temps') tells the story of an international coalition of scientists and their incredible discovery far beneath the Antarctic ice: the last remnants of a highly a..more

First, this book can be read super quickly. Honestly, if I had nothing to do laast weekend, and if I didn't want to take my time to read the end, it would have been a really quick read. The writing is easy to understand and transport the reader in the South Pole, where the story is set.
I was not charmed by the beginning of the book: the setting was not attractive to me, and some things bugged me, like sexism and a certain way to speak of people of colour. I tried to go beyond that to appre..more

La Nuit des Temps is a love story, but also a dystopia that reveals a world long buried for thousands of years under the ice.
I read it as a child and was lucky enough to study it in junior high during our cycle on fantasy and horror literature.
Of course, this novel bears the mark of Barjavel's style, of his hippie way of approching the world, in the style of 1968, but full of hopes about humanity's managing to improve.

This novel seems to be slightly obscure in the English-language sci-fi world (the original French version was a best-seller after it came out in France in 1970), which is surprising, because it's a lot of fun: there's fast-moving action, romance, idealistic scientists trying to save humanity from the machinations of cynical politicians, and all the far-fetched futuristic technology that we hope for when we read sci-fi novels. It would surely be embraced by international sci-fi fans if it came to..more

Welcome to the 60's sci-fi of Barjavel, where women are only valued for their beauty, are the only ones who ever cry and are mainly just preoccupied with shallow things or romance/sex, and where black people actually come from another planet (imported by whites, naturally). This is a pathetic attempt at a futuristic Romeo & Juliet that has most certainly not aged well. The first 50% were torture to read with all the male chauvinism, then it got better, but the book as a whole never stopped b..more

This novel is about the discovery of an ancient, advanced civilization under the Antarctic ice sheet. It as major political, romantic and erotic themes. The idea was interesting, but I really disliked the novel. It reads like a bad memoir. There is simply no characterization. This may be due to the translation. It was originally in French andt did win the Prix des Libraires for 1969. At least it was short.

La Nuit des Temps (published in English as The Ice People) is a massively exciting 1960s sci-fi novel about a French scientific expedition who discover the traces of a lost civilisation deep under the Antarctic ice. And not only that but, impossibly, after 900,000 years, someone is alive down there..

I loved the poetic ways everything is described with. People might say that some scenes are a bit erotic, which I agree with. On an other hand, it is part of the Gondas' culture to show their love for their significant other in public. I enjoyed that the author decided to regroup all the nations together and made them work toward a common problem. All the references it makes to the Cold War, the plot and the characters are interesting as well.
It felt a little bit racist on some irrelevant passages. Other than that 5 stars
This is my all time favorite book. I read it for the first time 22 years ago. I was eight, I was bored, the library was closed for the holidays and it was there in my sister's room, waiting for me. I was too young to understand every word but the sheer beauty and emotion of the love story just blew me away. I've read it every year since. I grew up with it, I understood it better. Why is it my favourite? That's simple: I know every word and still I can't help holding my breath as I keep reading,..more

I worked for a library when I ran across this book. I loved it so much I now own it. It took some time but it was worth tracking down. I have read it over and over and with each time I find my thinking has matured or changed about something in the book. Well written for a easy read.

Two people are found preserved inside technologically advanced containers buried in the ice. All hell breaks lose. Pretty good, although I don't remember much about the details. This was originally written in French and translated in the version I read.
I cried my eyes out. I discovered that many things of this story could be real. .. let's hope.

Early sci fi, which unfortunately hasn't aged well.
There are several original, intriguing ideas, such as: the ability of science and discovery to cross geo-political boundaries (especially at times of heightened tensions when little else can); the devastating loss of irreplaceable artifacts that can arise when science rushes forward with insufficient precautions; the limits of cooperative governance structures; and the devastating effects of geopolitical game theory.

This book had its flaws, but I really enjoyed reading it. The message is delivered in a pretty heavy-handed manner. It seems that way, anyway. The society that the frozen female Elea is at first meant to be portrayed as utopian. However, as we spend more time there other aspects that say otherwise are revealed and I don't know if that was intentional or if the author needed to invent them to further the plot.

I remember first reading this book at age 12 and absolutely loving it. I found a used copy recently and I wanted to see if the story held up over time. It mostly does. The plot uses a frame device where scientists exploring the Antarctic stumble upon a signal being beamed from miles down in the ice, and they find buried there a compound where a man and a woman have been frozen and perfectly preserved at absolute zero. The woman is revived first, and we then have the crux of the story - she tells..more
I could see this being a good comic, a good illustrator could do wonders, and the story could pass. As a novel, it's flawed, close to pulp fiction at times, and Barjavel can be annoying, arrogant, and stupid. His vision of women is a typical mixture of cheesy idealization and casual misogyny that I find nauseating and cannot understand anymore. The 'international' team of scientists falls short of what it should be, with little intelligence and underdeveloped characters, and with the seemingly a..more

I read this book in its original language (French), so I don't know what the English version is like. That's definitely on my to-do list! It's unusual to find sci-fi written in a language that is not English (other than Jules Verne), yet it is really worth it if you are looking for something new.
This book reminds me of Planet of the Apes or Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back, in the sense that you get a big surprise. Once you know the revelation/secret, there's no going back, you can't re-watch..more

After the first 50 pages, I didn't think I would like this book. It's poorly translated with many distracting typos. The pacing is weird sometimes, as there are no page breaks between different scenes sometimes. But after churning along and reaching a flashback scene this story slowly started getting interesting. I blazed through this book in two sittings. If you like cheesy sci-fi that is seriously dated (gasp! there was rampant sexism in the 60s) then you will like this story.

My favorite book from one of my favorite French SiFi author (Barjavel).
I randomly picked that book from the school library in junior high, loved it, forgot the title and was surprised to recognize it years later when I re-read it by chance. I then read most of Barjavel's book.
A French expedition to the north pole discovers a radio signal coming from a golden dome buried under the ice within which a frozen human couple is found..
Pure gold!!

My favorite book so far. The best SiFi romance i ever read. I not usually get too emotional with books, but that one had my feelings at 100% on each page.. I still found myself thinking about this book sometimes. It's also an interesting story about humanity and politics. A good book if you like distopian realities.

The concept of finding a 900,000 year old civilization deeply buried under the Antarctic Ice is fascinating. The book devolves into a variation on Romeo and Juliet. Although there were some interesting concepts, I can't say that I really enjoyed the book in toto.
Jul 30, 2019C Tytherleigh rated it liked it · review of another edition
Sent to me via a book exchange, I was very interested to read this as something I would never have picked myself. It is a bit of a page-turner but does get slightly odd from halfway onwards, and I felt that the ending was an anti-climax. What I found interesting was the way that the writing reflected the era in which it was written. Worth reading.
pretty good for a school book, but quite complicated and the ending was way too obvious.
Could have been a good story, but it's sexist, racist, and while I understand it was written in the 60s, the science doesn't make sense.
