Understanding Peguy

For some, Peguy is 'an anarchist who put holy water in his oil'; for others, a dangerous rebel whose 'head is full of revolution'. A socialist and a Catholic, a pious poet and a raging polemicist, Peguy turns out to be a man with a sometimes chaotic, always leaping journey. Few authors have had such a controversial posterity as he. One hundred years after his death, it is time to do justice to this unclassifiable thinker, little known in his time, and who has so much to say in ours. Yves Rouviere's drawings are there to give substance to the words, to embody the spiritual , according to one of Peguy's cherished intuitions.
