The Ice People by René Barjavel
The book in question is a speculative fiction novel set in a dystopian future where a sudden and severe ice age has gripped the Earth, leading to the collapse of civilization and the emergence of a new society. The story follows the protagonist, a historian, who discovers the truth about the ice age's origins and the existence of an advanced prehistoric civilization. As the protagonist delves deeper into the past, he uncovers startling revelations about humanity's history and the cyclical nature of human progress and decline, all while navigating the challenges of life in a frozen world.
