Synopsis
Jacques Lusseyran, blind hero of the French Resistance, lost his sight at the age of eight. In his best-selling autobiography And There was Light (Floris Books, 1999), he tells how he discovered the 'inner light' which allowed him to see the world in all its richness and depth, a light which sustained him through the terrors of internment at Buchenwald. In this collection of writings, Lusseyran tells of experiencing 'light in myself' as a spiritual gift of love. He examines the value of 'seeing' for both blind and sighted people, and explores the nature of the inner space that we call 'I'. In two short memoirs, he recalls encounters in the death-camps which inspired and strengthened him to find an inner response to an outer hell.
