Publicity

Etienne de Montety writes on fragility: that of beings confronted with the violence of their fellows;

the fragility of minds manipulated by hate mongers;

the fragility of faith in the face of society and in the face of oneself.

It is also a book on commitment: the spiritual commitment of a man and a woman in the service of God, but also the commitment of two young boys in the spiral of terrorist violence, in the name of God .

It is also a book on French society, on its inner demons, on what keeps it going, and what divides it.

Etienne de Montety's "The Great Test" is published by Stock editions. 

Report

:

This Sunday in Bolivia took place a very special festivity: the feast of ñatitas, the feast of skulls, which takes place every November 8, for centuries, even, perhaps millennia according to experts.

Hundreds of believers have gathered in the cemetery to pray together on skulls, to make offerings to them, and thus they sometimes perform miracles.

A pre-Hispanic tradition still very much alive in Bolivia.
