Progress and knowledge, weapons that have turned against men.

Since 2019, 95% of the British population has disappeared... In 2067, in a village in England, Lawrence is the only one who has ever crossed the borders of the territory, the only one who still does not reject all knowledge of the past. He is feared and criticized by the villagers, for whom the disappearance of the ancient world is due to the pride of men and their contempt for God... Despite this, Lawrence has a student, young Keira, whom he tries to teach to read and write. When she disappears with two of her friends after stealing one of the last maps of the country, Lawrence feels responsible. He has no choice, he will have to leave his retreat and set out to save them, facing what he no longer wanted to revive in this devastated world.

For his big solo comeback, Eric Stalner tells us a science fiction fable in four volumes, raising burning questions about the future of humanity.
