Malevil

Robert Merle's novel imagines the world after a sudden nuclear catastrophe. Emmanuel and a few friends happen to be in the deep wine cellar of Malevil, an old castle in the French countryside, and so survive. Together they must find food, defend themselves, settle quarrels and decide what kind of community they want to rebuild. It is both a tense survival story and a thoughtful study of leadership, belief and human nature. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
