Un ange passe... La conversation est suspendue et les attitudes figées dans leur incongruité. Symptomatiques et drôles, les réflexes et les mots des chrétiens dans un monde qui change si vite sont saisis par le pinceau ironique et tendre de Luc Tesson. Dans la tradition de Sempé, Plantu et Voutch, l'observateur perspicace croque les enfants inspirés, les curés débordés, les dévotes déboussolées, les mères de famille stressées, les artistes hallucinés, les bobos cyniques et les scientifiques sans vergogne.--After half a century's combat for justice, the author evokes the questions, doubts and convictions that accompanied his Rimbaud-like, teenage dream of ‘changing life' and his tireless search for a response to the question of violence. The period of the Nazi occupation, his encounter with the Gospels, local humanitarian work and his commitment of solidarity with the exiled and with victims of torture and oppression: all these things form a background to a narrative that weaves together memories and reflection. Through this memoir, the author wishes to pay an enthusiastic homage to the remarkable people he has met along the way: authentic ‘human treasures' who pursued, in the face of all difficulties, their combat against injustice and exclusion of every kind, a combat for the respect of human dignity, for solidarity without borders and fraternity.
