Jacques Lusseyran shares in this book why he, having lost his sight at the age of eight, loves life and why he "sees" - with inner eyes that perceive more than the eyes of some healthy people. To him, the blind man, the world seemed filled with light. Although threatened by illness and persecution, he was a man without fear, convinced that an order governs and that to see how it extends to our entire being and to all events of our existence, it is enough not to resist it. In a time when so many justifiably or unjustifiably complain, one who had every reason to complain had the courage to begin each day with joy and hope, and his confidence resonates with the reader.
