The engineer Wolf and his assistant, the mechanic Lazuli, build a time machine thanks to which Wolf intends, by returning to his childhood, to ward off all the errors and all the obsessions that had plagued him then. Only by exorcising those shadows will he be, he believes, in a position to recover the ability to enjoy the fleeting moments of happiness that life offers him. But we all know that the inquisitors do not accept such audacity and who knows if Wolf will be able to overcome them... This is perhaps Vian's most intimate and least burlesque novel, and many of the situations undoubtedly refer to his personal life. However, to the tenderness that inspires this story, at the same time painful and pathetic, Vian cannot help but add, as always in all his work, the overflowing fantasy and lucid insolence that gives characters and stories that magical and contagious vitality. that captivates from beginning to end its readers of yesterday and today, more than unconditional addicts.
