Title : The Thanatonauts - Bernard Werber - Book
Summary :
Man has explored everything: the world of space, the underwater world, the subterranean world; yet he lacks knowledge of one world: the continent of the dead.
This is the next frontier.
Michael Pinson and his friend Raoul Razorbak, two young researchers without complexes, want to take up this challenge and, using the most modern medical and astronautical techniques, set off to discover paradise.
Their name? The Thanatonauts. From the Greek Thanatos (deity of death) and nautès (navigator).
Their guide? The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, but also the great mythologies and sacred texts of practically all religions , which seem to have always known what the final journey and the "true" paradise were. Little by little, the thanatonauts draw up the geographical map of this unknown world and discover its immense and magnificent scenery. The word terra incognita recedes at the same time as, day after day, we learn what happens to us after we breathe our last.
Bernard Werber, a young French novelist who has been translated worldwide, became known for The Ants and then The Day of the Ants ( Elle Readers' Prize, Livre de Poche Readers' Prize). His specialty: philosophical tales tinged with adventure and humor. As a modern Dante, this time he takes us on a breathtaking journey from which many of us will return "changed."
