About This Item

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2018. Hardback, Languages: French, 375 p., 8 b/w ill., 152 x 229 mm . ISBN 9782503582474. Chanoine regulier du Grand-Saint-Bernard, missionnaire aux marches tibetaines, Maurice Tornay y devait trouver le martyre en 1949. L?interet intrinseque de son ?uvre ecrite, principalement constituee par une correspondance d?une constante authenticite de ton, s?impose a divers titres. Ses Lettres en effet ne sont pas sans evoquer par leur thematique spirituelle la correspondance d?une Therese de Lisieux ou d?une Elisabeth de la Trinite, et par leurs descriptions pittoresques et toujours captivantes de ce qui etait encore de fait le Tibet interdit, elles rappellent le fameux Voyage en Tartarie et au Tibet du P. Huc. Ses lettres valaisannes, qu?une perception juste de la discrete et austere poesie montagnarde signaleraient pour une anthologie regionaliste, preludent a ses pages sur ?« la terre de feu et le ciel d?airain ?» des marches tibetaines, d?un regard lucide et sans illusions. Ses Recits et Nouvelles tibetains, ici integralement donnes, et composes a l?intention de ses correspondants helvetiques, allient un talent litteraire certain a une clairvoyance aimante sur les etres et cette portion du monde. La, entre les traverses d?une situation politique chaotique et d?une presence europeenne desemparee, s?est exercee une spiritualite de la vie quotidienne robuste, tranquillement heroique et delicatement attentionnee a autrui. Du collegien de Saint-Maurice d?Agaune au martyr d?Orient, on saisit, menee ?« sous la regle de saint Augustin ?», la trajectoire droite d?une ame tout orientee, avec ses faiblesses memes, vers la perfection et la grandeur. C?est aussi une page de l?histoire de l?Extreme Orient et de l?histoire missionnaire du XXe siecle qui est ecrite et decrite. Cette seconde edition donne la totalite de l??uvre ecrite de Maurice Tornay connue a ce jour.
