Upon retirement at the age of sixty-two, and grieving his deceased wife, renowned journalist Bernard Ollivier felt a sense of profound emptiness: What do I do now? While some see retirement as a chance to cash in their chips and settle into a comfy armchair, Ollivier still longed for more.

"Det er en myte, at solen altid skinner i Provence, som den nobelprisbelønnede digter Fréderic Mistral kaldte for solens rige. Det er en myte, at der ikke kan falde sne i et subtropisk klima, og at man på disse breddegrader ikke risikerer at opleve en kulde, som bider i kinder og næse. Hvis man vil elske Provence, denne mangfoldige sydfranske provins, må man lære også at elske eller i det mindste tolerere et klima, som undertiden kan være mere omskifteligt og lunefuldt, end man forestiller sig.

"Jeg har valgt at skrive om de af mine rejser, som har haft med nogle af verdenshistoriens (og pressehistoriens) mysterier at gøre, store såvel som små. Vi drages mod det ukendte, mod det mystiske, som ulve efter bytte. Havde man fortalt mig, at jeg skulle få mulighed for at undersøge disse og andre mysterier på stederne, hvor de havde udspillet sig, ville det have forekommet mig lige så usandsynligt, som at menneskene nogensinde skulle kunne lande på månen.

I 1986 og 1988 drog Christian Lygum Christensen som leder af ekspeditioner ind i Guatemalas jungleområder for at udforske Mayaindianernes tempelbyer. Efter hårde strabadser fandt man frem til hidtil ukendte tempelbyer og mayagrotter.
