Milarepa e marele yoghin tibetan, înţeleptul enigmatic ce a străbătut nouă veacuri, distilând, transmutaţie după transmutaţie, toate experienţele lumii de carne şi spirit. Acum locuieşte în visele parizianului Simon şi-l tulbură noapte de noapte cu aceeaşi nălucire de nepătruns, aşa încât viaţa trăită şi viaţa visată încep să se amestece până la confuzie. Cheia enigmei e oferită de o femeie stranie pe care Simon o întâlneşte într-o cafenea din Parisul diurn.

Obsedat de o amintire din copilărie și fascinat de Chopin, tânărul Eric-Emmanuel se hotărăște să ia ore de pian. După un început cu stângul, doamna Pylinska, exotica și intransigenta profesoară poloneză stabilită la Paris, îi va oferi o educație muzicală originală: lecții private despre viață, despre artă și despre iubire, care, odată înțelese, îi vor revela tânărului adevărata lui vocație.

Dragostea este oare un sentiment declanşat de un proces chimic, sau este pur şi simplu un miracol al spiritului, imposibil de explicat? Există o metodă infailibilă pentru a stârni pasiunea, un elixir precum cel care i-a unit odinioară pe Tristan şi Isolda? Sau cei care se îndrăgostesc ascultă doar de propria libertate? Foşti iubiţi, Adam şi Louise trăiesc la mii de kilometri depărtare unul de celălalt, el la Paris, ea în Montréal. Corespondând pe e-mail, cei doi îşi evocă trecutul comun, rănile încă neînchise, momentele de bucurie, dar şi noile relaţii.

Le héros miraculeux d'Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt poursuit sa traversée sur le fleuve du temps. Après le Néolithique, le voici plongé dans une nouvelle enquête au cœur de l'Orient ancien... Noam cherche fougueusement celle qu'il aime, enlevée dans d'étranges conditions. Flanqué de son chien, il découvre un monde en pleine mutation, la Mésopotamie, autrement appelée le Pays des Eaux Douces, où les hommes viennent d'inventer les villes, l'écriture, l'astronomie. À Babel, cité bruyante et colorée, belle de jour comme de nuit, il affronte le tyran Nemrod.

Cette "Traversée des temps" affronte un prodigieux défi : raconter l'histoire de l'humanité sous la forme d'un roman. Faire défiler les siècles, en embrasser les âges, en sentir les bouleversements, comme si Yuval Noah Harari avait croisé Alexandre Dumas. Depuis plus de trente ans, ce projet titanesque occupe Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt.
