Against the Pollution of the I | Free Book
On the Gifts of Blindness, the Power of Poetry, and the Urgency of
Awareness
Despite being blinded as a child, Jacques Lusseyran went on to help
form a key unit of the French Resistance — and survive the Nazis’
Buchenwald concentration camp. He wrote about these experiences in his
inspiring memoir And There Was Light. In this remarkable
collection of essays, Lusseyran writes of how blindness enabled him to
discover aspects of the world that he would not otherwise have known.
In “Poetry in Buchenwald,” he describes the unexpected nourishment he
and his fellow prisoners found in poetry. In “What One Sees Without
Eyes” he describes a divine inner light available to all. Just as
Lusseyran transcended his most difficult experiences, his writings
give triumphant voice to the human ability to see beyond sight and act
with unexpected heroism.
