Beskrivelse
The New Testament is crossed by an incredible narrative tension. The poetic language allows this tension to be highlighted: it paints the features of an epic of salvation through plays of images, symbols, and emotions, and gives the texts a new intensity. While this collection does not require any preliminary biblical knowledge, the latter will help to grasp its full meaning. The reader can choose a systematic reading from the beginning or go directly to the heart of the collection by reading the poems concerning the passion and resurrection, starting from ""Gethsemane."" They will then understand what reading the book can bring them. As with the collection Beginnings, which precedes it, the poems are given in the original language they were first written (French) and in their translation into English. The people who can read French will be able to appreciate the musicality inherent in their composition. The English reader will be able to appreciate the general aesthetics of the images and the description of the emotions faithfully rendered by the translation.
