Following an explosion, probably nuclear, which has in all likelihood ravaged the entire Earth, Emmanuel Comte and his six companions make Malevil Castle, whose deep cellar allowed them to survive, the starting base for their efforts to rebuild civilization, which will also involve confrontation with other groups of survivors, whether wandering gangs or structured nomadic or sedentary groups. The qualification of science fiction can be considered exaggerated, concerning this novel, since only the starting situation (the destruction of human civilization by an explosion of unknown origin) joins the post-apocalyptic theme, then very popular in science fiction. The rest of the novel tells how a group of men tries to rebuild a society according to Christian values.
