If you are a fan of the post apocolypse genre, then you will appreciate this gem of a book. It is difficult to find, but it is well worth perservering with a search.

The title of the book refers to an old castle in rural France, and which is owned by our hero, the narrator of the story. By a happy coincidence of ancient stone and being sheltered by a cliff, a small community survives the aftermath of a "clean" bomb by sheltering within its walls.

At first the community is obsessed with the everyday challenges of life - what to eat, drink, will there be fallout? But as the novel progresses, and we learn of other survivors, it begins to look at the very nature of human behaviour when stripped of the facade of civilisation.

This is a very "believable book", as much as such a horror tale can be, and it is interspersed with some very astute observations of human behaviour, with both acts of kindness portrayed as well as the abuses of power. The detail of how nature as well as the characters recover from the loss and shock of it all is well portrayed and keeps you turning the pages.

This is a treat if you are a fan of the genre. If you are interested in tales of human survival in horrendous times, this is also for you. As I said, hard to find, but well worth looking for!

Malevil Robert Merle Derek Coltman 9780671216009 Books Reviews

It's not in English
Very nice book and story. Item as described.
One of the best books ever!
I recently reread this book after reading it for the first time 25 years ago. It is an excellent book, one that I will read again! I have read many of Merle's book and I would recommend the Fortunes of France series, and The virility factor.
Many would think the subject matter of this book is dated. That doesn't take away from the fact that it is a GREAT story!
Malevil is a must-read for anyone who enjoys the post-apocalyptic genre. If you can find a copy, definitely grab it and give it a read. Some of the gender role stuff will be an eye-roller for today's readers, but that's pretty common in this vein anyway. Lots to ponder - and who wouldn't want to live in a castle if we're going to get sent back to the Dark Ages?
If you have read Alas, Babylon and enjoyed it, you should definitely tackle Malevil next.
Got it and was so disappointed that it was in FRENCH so had to return. One of my favorite reads of about 25 years ago and have been looking for this book ever since.
