Promu au rang de Technicien dans la hiérarchie de l'Éternité, Andrew Harlan est chargé de manipuler les réalités temporelles, pour le bien de l'humanité. Au cours de sa mission, il rencontre la curieuse Noÿs Lambent, une "Temporelle", quoique éternelle coquette, suivant la mode du 482ème siècle.
Se mêlent alors, dans une quête éperdue, désir de temps et désir d'éternité. Mais Harlan peut-il protéger Noÿs des changements de réalité sans défier les lois qu'impose l'Éternité aux temporels ?
Ne signe-t-il pas la fin des "Éternels" ?
Avec ce roman, Isaac Asimov nous offre une grande histoire d'amour, aux prises avec l'Éternité, et le plus inattendu des préludes au cycle de Fondation

Work Description

The story of temporal engineers who meta-regulate the history of humanity through the centuries, eliminating risk, adventure, and space travel in the process. One man rebels in order to save the existence of someone he loves, and in the end the time bureaucracy is destroyed for the sake of individuality and human achievement. The theme is the opposite of the Foundation stories, where the central planners and manipulators of humanity always dominate.
