MIROITEMENTS
La France, comme tous les pays du monde, doit relever le double défi d’un approvisionnement en énergie « propre » et de l’abandon des carburants fossiles. Le président de la République, conscient des enjeux et très sensible à l’écologie, conçoit un projet audacieux, radical : construire la plus grande centrale solaire du monde, dans la plaine de la Crau. Hélios, c’est le nom du projet, fournira dans sa démesure au pays la totalité de l’électricité dont il a besoin… Mais, chacun le sait, le diable se cache dans les détails ; et à peine la centrale estelle mise en service que le rêve commence à virer au cauchemar. Miroitements est un roman prenant, une fascinante fable qui renvoie dos à dos les tenants de tous bords, et s’avère aujourd’hui d’une actualité redoutable.

About the author
Pierre Boulle
147 books288 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Pierre Boulle (20 February 1912 – 30 January 1994) was a French novelist best known for two works, The Bridge over the River Kwai (1952) and Planet of the Apes (1963) that were both made into award-winning films.
Boulle was an engineer serving as a secret agent with the Free French in Singapore, when he was captured and subjected to two years' forced labour. He used these experiences in The Bridge over the River Kwai, about the notorious Death Railway, which became an international bestseller. The film by David Lean won many Oscars, and Boulle was credited with writing the screenplay, because its two genuine authors had been blacklisted.
His science-fiction novel Planet of the Apes, where intelligent apes gain mastery over humans, was adapted into a series of five award-winning films that spawned magazine versions and popular themed toys.
