Summary: courage,intelligence,spiritual light radiating love of life
Review: The autobiographical book, And There Was Light, by Jacques Lusseyran, was to me, a must read for all people! I am in awe of Jacques Lusseyran. His courage through adversity was a beam of light! The quote by him, "Light is in us, even if we have no eyes," tells of a person, only physically was blind (age of 8 in 1932). In 1939 as a teenager, he founded a student resistance, The Volunteers of Liberty. When Dr. Lusseyran was asked, what is your reason for loving life, only then did he find the real subject to write about his life. He said, ".... since I have maintained this love of life through everything: through infirmity, the terrors of war and even in Nazi prison. Never did it fail me, not in misfortune nor in good times, which may seem much easier but is not".
