La Vie, la mort et la résurrection de Socrate-Marie Gripotard
Dans seize mille années d'ici, un écrivain de la race des Surhommes écrira le roman des origines de son espèce.
Étant donné que le premier Surhomme est né en France en 1919, cet écrivain trouvera sa documentation dans le cerveau d'un de nos auteurs contemporains, M. Pierre Gripari, pour ne pas le nommer.
Malheureusement, M. Pierre Gripari lui communiquera, non seulement son savoir, non seulement ses idées, mais aussi ses passions, ses désirs, ses phobies et ses rêves.
Le résultat, c'est un roman devenu fou, c'est une chronique délirante, où l'on trouvera la Grande Régression russe d'Octobre, un Juif nommé Hitler, le procès de Khrouchtchov, l'enlèvement de la belle Caroline, des histoires de vampires, et surtout la pitié, la grand'pitié de l'Europe au XXe siècle de notre ère.

Un roman incroyable, une chronique extravagante et empreinte de magie et de fantastique. Notre histoire européenne pendant la seconde guerre mondiale est écrite par une nouvelle race d'homme, les Surhommes, seize mille années après notre époque !
