Château de sable

It is no longer a mystery: M. Night Shyamalan, the director of The Sixth Sense and Split, was inspired by Château de sable by Frederik Peeters and Pierre Oscar Lévy for his new film, Old, which will be released in our latitudes on July 21st. To celebrate this release, Atrabile offers this book in a hardback version and with a new cover design. As a reminder: on a beach, the destiny of 13 characters will be turned upside down by an inconceivable event, a shift in reality that will plunge this small group into an abyss of questions. Faced with this fantastic event, the protagonists of Château de sable will first go through a very human phase of tense and conflicting denial, then will come the period of acceptance, when the masks will have fallen and they will have to deal with the new situation, because time is running out… Faced with a destiny that inexorably escapes like a handful of sand between the fingers, everyone will react in their own way – but how and what to do when a sunset can be synonymous with the end? A complete and complex story, where the situation is more important than the explanation, Château de sable balances throughout its hundred pages between darkness and humanism, to form a modern, cruel and fascinating tale.
