When the ones who come after us find our art, our writings, our sculpture, what will they think of us? What values will they believe we possess, and what will our passions be defined as. More important, will our art seem to have some kind of a soul, or will it be boiled down simply to a collection of sentiments and impressions. Glacial Period asks this question in a unique and positively eccentric way.
This can be a pretentious book I suppose, but Nicolas de Crecy tells the story of a group of explorers who are exploring the Icy Continent, which is Europe following some manner of cataclysm. A dog creature named Hulk, and a group of historians discover the ruins of The Louvre and after that the story is just an exploration of what these people think of the human beings who made such a building, while the art comes to life, desperate to escape before utter oblivion.
Crecy has made a fascinating graphic novel, one that is relevant as the climate of our planet changes and we consider what the future of our species is going to be. And while there is some morbidity to the final conclusion, CRecy still manages to get the reader to consider whether or not art is charged with real life, or whether we simply create to preserve some moment or impression, hoping that the energy and spirit of that moment will live on past us.

A really nice idea produced by the Louvre - how would future humans interpret who we were by the collections in one of histories greatest museums/art galleries...!?!
C'est le genre d'histoire tel qu'il faut flotter dans la confusion et le mystère de la vie. J'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas bien traduit en anglais vue les critiques - et que les personnes qui n'ont pas aimées n'ont pas pris le temps d'absorber l'histoire.
In order to enjoy this story you have to be able to let yourself go- abandon yourself to mystery and confusion. Based on reviews I have the impression that either the story was poorly translated or that the readers who didn't like it didn't take time to reflect and absorb the story.
