Présentation de l'éditeur '"There are always a thousand suns beyond the clouds." I first came across this proverb on a bus shelter in the south of India. It has remained with me ever since. Man's strength lies in his capacity to continue after adversity, to believe in his dreams and keep on struggling to fulfil them. It is this faith that lies at the very heart of this book.' Dominique Lapierre's phenomenal worldwide success has been founded on his ability to stir the heart with his stories of the triumph of the human spirit against oppression and misfortune. A THOUSAND SUNS is a beautifully written, moving look back on Lapierre's life through the extraordinary figures he has encountered - from an American on death row to a Nazi officer with a conscience, from an Israeli hero to Mother Teresa, all have shone the light of hope into their particular hells. By turns moving, funny and humane these stories of individuals who have had a profound effect on Lapierre and on the world, distil all that is worth striving for in human nature. Revue de presse 'A huge tapestry but Lapierre is more than able to make the whole totally fascinating. And without one word that is either cruel or cynical.
