The Sands of Tamanrasset: The Story of Charles de FoucauldHawthorn Books, 1961 - 279 էջ Playboy, soldier, patriot, explorer, hermit, and above all a lover of God. That was Charles de Foucauld, whom the Catholic Church now calls venerable and may someday call a saint. The biographer tells the exciting story of this extraordinary man, of his dissolute youth, his adventures, his discovery of faith and his spiritual life. The story of Charles de Foucauld is, in many ways, the story of the French in Africa and provides a background for today's news headlines. The author vividly brings to life the North Africa that existed before World War I--the intrigues, the battles, the whole heroic story of men who were willing to die for their country, and particularly of one man willing to die for God. |
