Fragments de paradis

by Daniel Tammet

Elevé dans un milieu non croyant, Daniel Tammet raconte sa conversion au christianisme à l’âge adulte. Quels épisodes de l’enfance, quelles rencontres, quels échanges ont été déterminants ? Peut-on réconcilier la foi et la raison ? Comment partager une expérience aussi indicible ?
Ces Fragments de paradis, portés par cette poésie et ces fulgurances qui sont la marque de Daniel Tammet, dessinent la spiritualité d’un homme du XXIe siècle. Récit lumineux sur la quête de sens, ce livre est sans doute le plus intime de l’auteur et touchera les croyants comme les non-croyants.
