Bernard Werber. Pandora's Box

In this book, Werber reveals his vision of memory and history, their power yet also their impermanence and fragility. Is there a way to discover the truth when books and official chronicles lie to please the powers that be? The author believes that the answers lie deep within our selves, in the recesses of our souls, a path that will open only if we choose to find it.

"I was a murderer, I forgot it, but now I remember it, and here I am again," René Toledano tells himself, futilely trying to explain the horrific death of the robber who attacked him, whose body he coldly dumped in the Seine. Only minutes earlier, René had broken the hypnotic immersion into his past life, when he mercilessly killed German soldiers in the trenches of Northern France. Why had his world suddenly turned into a waking nightmare? It was all the fault of a red-haired, green-eyed witch who, for fun, opened Pandora's Box and unleashed demons whose existence René Toledano never even suspected.
