suspenseful account not only of the great culminating sea battle and the Pacific naval war, but of the contrasting cultures pitted against each other.

avec le questionnement humain sur le sens de la vie, de l'amour et de la souffrance.

amis pour dire sa confiance en la lumière. Dialoguant avec les poètes et les penseurs de l'espérance Jean d'Ormesson et François Cheng, il perçoit les rumeurs d'une aurore inédite depuis le silence de la forêt de Maska jusqu'à la sagesse des "gens de parole" nombreux qu'il fréquente. Cette conversation est suivie de quelques réflexions spirituelles que Benoît Lacroix a publiées dans diverses revues au fil de sa vie. Enfin, ce recueil offre un bouquet de "coups de coeur", soit 111 petits textes inédits où la mémoire et l'imagination jouent à saute-mouton pour nous dire le monde selon Benoît Lacroix.

'' Dans une société où même le temps du loisir doit être comblé par des activités , nous courons, nous…
courons... jusqu'à ce qu'advienne la grande fatigue. Lorsque nous nous heurtons à la frustration et à l'impuissance, quand le chemin que nous avons pris ne nous a finalement menés nulle part, nous nous sentons vidés, dépossédés de tout désir. Anselm Grün nous montre comment faire face à ces moments d'angoisse voire d'effondrement, qui peuvent dès lors être saisis comme autant d'occasions de revenir vers nous-mêmes. En effet, ces grandes fatigues ont la capacité insoupçonnée de nous mener vers l'essentiel de notre vie : le rythme de notre propre âme et de notre corps afin de retrouver notre source intérieure.
