About This Book
This book (248 pages), published in Algiers (Algeria) in 1984, is about the life of the Prophet of Islam (Peace be Upon Him). It is written as an epic. Really profound French poetry. Beginners in French need not read it. Even advanced people in French language will not understand the subtleties of many of its poems if they do not grasp the historical context to which this text refers. Example of excerpts:
Poem 2 : Je dis l'Immense
"Je dis l'Immense et le Lointain
Parmi les iles-nebuleuses
Les plus pales de ma memoire
Et l'Intime au plus sourd
De mon sang jugulaire:
Je dis le Haut Caravanier
Des astres lointains qui cheminent
Le Spacieux, le Gouverneur
De l'etendue qui se dilate, ou fuient les spheres!
...
Je dis le Rayonnant, l'Obscur,
Parmi les milliards de signes,
...
Je me murmure le Supreme
(Sous le dome du coeur s'allument les miroirs):
l"Obscur et l'Etoile, l"Ineffable"
The allusion here is about the remembrance of the different epiphanies of God (The Supremem); remembrance taken as the doorway to the Prophet's Way of spiritual realization (Peace Upon Him).
