“Le diable l’emporte” (“May the devil take him”) is a novel written by the renowned French author René Barjavel in 1948. The story unfolds in a postapocalyptic setting, where a future world war ravages the earth with its devastating weapons. As a result, the few remaining humans are compelled to seek refuge deep underground within a concealed vault. Barjavel’s novel carries a profound message of pessimism regarding the impact of technology, while simultaneously exalting the virtues of grounded individuals and traditional farmers.
