Née dans l’islam, Banine raconte dans Après son cheminement spirituel vers le catholicisme, entre doutes, révélations et quête de sens. Un témoignage rare, sans fard, qui interroge la foi et la transformation intérieure.

Un journal intime bouleversant : de 1950 à 1956, Banine, née musulmane dans l’aristocratie azérie, raconte sa conversion au catholicisme. Sans fard ni concession, elle y explore la foi, le doute et la quête d’absolu, jusqu’au baptême.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author Charlie Kaufman wrote a novel called Antkind, which was reviewed in the British newspaper the Observer in August 2020. The reviewer, Holly Williams, criticized the book because the narrator operated from a white-male-cis-het perspective. But the narrator was Jewish, and there was no mention of his Jewishness or the issue of Jewishness in the book. #2 The modern cultural conversation about reassessing great writers from the past in the light of current political understanding is not always negative. In the case of the early twentieth-century novelist Edith Wharton, for example, some have recently argued that she has been overlooked in the canon. #3 The issue is not that Wharton wrote things that are anti-Semitic, but that she did not include what her characters or herself would say about Jews. #4 We live in a time where politics is constantly injected into everything. This was evident in a recent BBC documentary about the drama strand Play for Today, which focused on plays that expressed radical politics and social issues.
