Loup et cette réalisation ) Ce site est accessible au public depuis le 24 novembre 2000, quinzième anniversaire de la mort de René Barjavel, mais son déployement complet prendra encore quelque temps, car la richesse de l'œuvre, trop souvent cataloguée comme "de Science-Fiction", voire "populaire", révèle, lorsqu'on en explore toutes les facettes, une richesse qui déborde largement ces domaines restreints...
