Description
La Jetée: Ciné-Roman by Chris Marker is a thought-provoking science fiction filmic essay that explores time and memory after a nuclear apocalypse. The book, published in 1993, is based on the legendary 1964 film of the same name, composed almost entirely of still photographs. The narrative follows a desperate experiment by survivors to recover and change the past through the power of memory. A man's unique ability to retain a single clear image from pre-war days becomes crucial to the story, thickening and accumulating nuance with each successful expedition into the historical past. The book reproduces the original film's images along with its accompanying text in both English and French. This edition presents a stunning parable of our modern fate, exploring themes of loss, memory, hope, and the indomitable power of love.
