In this classic science fiction novel, Romain Ségétan,
a brilliant scientist whose creativity is intimately linked to his erotic
experience, particularly in its visual dimension, is struggling to develop
a technology to capture and control the "waves of time," which
will allow recurrent images and other echoes of the past to be brought
forward into clearer focus. After being temporarily blinded by a jealous
rival in love, he feels impelled to celebrate the restoration of his sight
by means of a historical re-enactment of s series of frescoes found in
the recently-excavated Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii, aided and facilitated
by his wave-enhancing apparatus, the Dyonisos. The result testifies to
the subtle force of the waves of time, both in history and on the contemporary
human psyche. A strikingly original--and erotic--SF novel about the nature
of time!
