INDIANA JONES - EXPLORATEUR DES TEMPS PASSES

In less than ten years, from the emblematic quest for the Ark of the Covenant in 1981 to the no less fabulous quest for the Holy Grail in 1989, the Indiana Jones phenomenon has perhaps never really been surpassed by any other work of its time, apart from the indisputable Star Wars.

The American archaeologist, an adventurer from an early age, represents the culmination of several centuries of adventure stories, symbolising a humanity in pursuit of its lost landmarks... which it is then necessary to search for in the past.

This book therefore bears a responsibility that should not be underestimated, that of taking stock of all the Indiana Jones quests, both in the cinema and on television, the history that makes them possible, the artefacts that sublimate them and the encounters that enrich their deeper meaning. It's our way of celebrating the work of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, the quintessence of entertainment cinema.
