«Хранитель времени» — завораживающая притча о Времени и Человеке. Жизнь — величайший дар, полученный человеком от Бога, — и каждый день, прожитый нами зря, каждая минута, растраченная нами впустую, падают на чашу весов, меряющих человеческие грехи. Цена времени равна цене жизни. Как мы ценим время, так и Тот, кому открыто прошлое и будущее, оценивает жизнь нашу и выносит ей окончательный приговор. И об этом, напоминает нам автор книги, никогда не следует забывать.

Pour s'être attiré les foudres des dieux le jour où il a réussi à créer la première horloge, Dor est emprisonné dans une cave pendant des siècles, contraint d'écouter les voix suppliantes de tous ceux qui, venant après lui, quémandent du temps, toujours plus de temps. Jusqu'au jour où on lui donne la possibilité de se racheter. Projeté en 2012, Dor va devoir s'acquitter d'une mission : faire comprendre à deux personnes sur Terre le vrai sens du temps : une adolescente prête à mettre fin à ses jours et un riche homme d'affaires condamné par la maladie, désireux, lui, de vivre éternellement. Pour se sauver lui-même, Dor va devoir les sauver.
