What if the mirrors didn't reflect your face—but your forgotten memories?
Le Manuscrit du Phare Noir is a symbolic and deeply atmospheric sci-fi mystery written entirely in French for advanced learners (B2–C1). With 20 chapters and over 20,000 words, this story takes readers on a haunting journey through time, memory, and perception.
When Émile discovers an old manuscript hidden in a coastal town library, he unknowingly activates the first of eight "mirrors"—thresholds that don't just show the past but connect places, people, and forgotten knowledge. Alongside his friend Inès and a skeptical scientist named Clara, Émile follows signals around the world—each tied to a fragment of a larger, universal memory.
But some echoes do not want to be heard.
🌀 This is not a beginner's reader. It's a mind-bending descent into silence, light, and meaning. Designed to challenge and reward, *Le Manuscrit du Phare Noir* blends accessible French prose with emotional and conceptual depth.
