| Résumé : |
Pierre Ceresole was a Swiss scientist and trained teacher of engineering, intensely interested in mathematical theory and no less intensely appreciative of beauty in art and in nature. At once patriot and internationalist, he was one of the most outstanding workers for peace of his generation, bearing lifelong witness action to his ideals of social justice and friendship between the peoples. He had a profound compassion for human fault, failure or suffering, yet could be a joyous and inspiriting companion. Above all, while theologically a heretic, he was a man of deep religious conviction who sought humbly to "live his truth" in the service of "the Eternal" with a unwavering sincerity and courage. This book consists chiefly of extracts from Pierre Ceresole's private notebooks, ans as such were not intended to be read by anyone else. [from the cover] |
