    René Barjavel, born on January 24th, 1911 in Nyons, France, and died on November 24th, 1985 in Paris, was a French writer and journalist mainly known for his anticipation novels, where science-fiction and fantastic express the angst felt in front of a technology we don't control anymore.

    Some redundant thematics of his work are: fall of the civilisation caused by too much science or war, eternal and indestructible love (Ashes, Ashes; The Immortals; The Ice People; Une Rose au paradisnote French name. English one wasn't found).

    His work is poetic, dream-like and sometimes philosophical.

    He also wrote movie scripts, most notably the 1950s-1960s adaptations of Don Camillo starring Fernandel and Gino Cervi.

    A science-fiction novels writing contest in Lyon (France) bears his name.
