Through poetry, famous French poet Alain Saint-Saens narrates Pope Saint John Paul II's extraordinary life as a model for Christians, but also as a man opened to dialog with other faiths: Judaism and Islam. This beautiful book is a very inspirational work for all readers in Spanish and English. The author, a Christian, also shows how John Paul II's spiritual guidance accompanied him all his life long. Twice his son Zinedine almost died and was considered lost. Alain Saint-Saens prayed all night with invocation to Saint John Paul II, and his son survived.
As a Historian of Christianity, Alain Saint-Saens wrote extensively about Christianity in Late Antiquity (Cesaire d'Arles et les Juifs au VIeme Siecle apres J-C); Early Modern Period (La nostalgie du desert. L'ideal eremitique en Castille au Siecle d'Or; Valets de Dieu, Suppots du Diable. Ermites d'Espagne a l'Epoque Moderne; Art and Faith in Tridentine Spain). Very much attached to the interfaith dialog as well, Alain Saint-Saens as a playwright imagined Karol Wojtyla talking to a Jewish Rabbi in his play, The Wagon. On the Way to Auschwitz. As a novelist, the author approaches Christianity Islam dialogue in his novel, Aisha.
