Memoirs Saints

Comment est morte Lucy ? Pourquoi et comment le corps de Saint Louis a été dispersé à travers le monde ? Que nous apprend l'étude du cerveau de Descartes? L'Histoire est pleine de mystères, c'est peut-être ce qui fait son charme et les résoudre est une aventure passionnante qui s'étend sur plusieurs siècles. N'étant plus une discipline monolithique, l'Histoire voit désormais s'étendre son champ d'action et s'enrichit de rapports fructueux avec l'anthropologie physique, l'ethnologie, l'archéologie, la biologie.

Louis de Rouvroy, Duke of Saint-Simon (1675-1755) provides the world with unparalleled insight both into the rule of France's Sun King, Louis XIV, and the tantalizing intrigues of the monarch's inner circle. Saint-Simon notes in his Memoirs that it was his love of reading - and of history in particular - that sparked his interest in recording his own observations. The length and breadth of his notes were undoubtedly made the more possible because he kept his writings secret.

Although many have heard his name and, perhaps a few fleeting quotations of his timeless, inspirational philosophy, few have had the opportunity to fully understand the amazing life and times of this impressive spiritual giant from the great, mysterious Indian subcontinent.

Vivekananda was then, and is now, a beacon of light to millions and his touching, inspirational, well thought out books have gently educated and inspired people ever since.

Joan of Arc (AD 1412 - 1431), nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans", is considered one of the greatest heroines of France for her courageous and pious role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War. As such, she was canonized a saint in the Roman Catholic church. Joan was born to a peasant family in northeast France. When still a youth, she received visions of the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, telling her to support Charles VII and to recover France from English domination during the Hundred Years' War.

Een briljant man die ook karikaturen tekende, toneelstukken en gedichten schreef en publiceerde over archeologie, astronomie, botanie en filosofie.

"Un génie mystique". Ainsi parlait le Pape Paul VI de celui qui prêcha, à sa demande, sa retraite au Vatican en 1972. Maurice Zundel, ce prêtre suisse né en 1897, vit depuis sa mort en 1975, un succès grandissant. Cela s'explique par l'aspect prophétique de cet étonnant mystique qui, dès le début de ses prédications, a placé l'homme au centre et au cœur de sa spiritualité. Transcendant les frontières humaines et religieuses, celui qui fut, entre autres, le confesseur de l'abbé Pierre, rejoint chacun d'entre nous, au travers de ses homélies (éditées), de ses livres (une vingtaine), et ses conférences (retranscrites).
