fondements bien fragiles. Le culte marial de Lourdes a été monté par l'Église, avec l'appui tacite de l'administration impériale et des médias de l'époque. En s'appuyant sur toutes les sources sérieuses connues à ce jour, l'auteur brosse le contexte religieux de l'époque et présente les protagonistes (la famille Soubirous, le clergé local, l'administration impériale, la presse...). Il détaille les mystères de la grotte, explique comment les canaux de l'eau miraculeuse ont été trafiqués, les témoignages de Bernadette orientés et souligne la disparition de pièces capitales. Il s'attache particulièrement à la personnalité de Bernadette, à ses déclarations et correspondances, puis à sa triste fin au couvent de Nevers où elle vécut un véritable martyre. Il explore enfin en détail l'histoire et la prolifération des cultes autour de Marie, jusqu'au concile Vatican II et montre combien "les mirages de Lourdes" ont bien servi la stratégie de l'Église catholique". -- 4e de couvThe death of Adam: essays on modern thought

de vivre qui s'avèrent contagieux. Ils ont fait la paix avec leur passé et s'emploient à vivre le moment présent dans la sérénité. Entre poème et méditation, ce recueil livre quelques réflexions d'un de ces sages qui, à l'aube de ses 80 ans, n'en finit pas de nous surprendre. " Mon propos ? écrit André Beauchamp. Célébrer le déclin de la vie, non pas sa déchéance, mais sa lente descente comme on descend une côte après la montée, avec saveur et fierté. Passage du dehors au-dedans quand l'être se recroqueville et perçoit mieux les mystères intérieurs. Les sens s'atrophient, un peu, beaucoup. Le sens s'affine, s'affirme. "
