Burning 1

Every time I read what is for me a real "bedside book", literally, I often wonder what Nietzsche would have thought. Abandon the Old to the New, give birth to Man, that which undoubtedly had spoken to the old Friedrich.

These angels who enter a dialogue with four young Hungarians, witnesses and potential victims of rampant Nazism, have also nothing chubby cherubs or diaphanous beings distilling wise advice from the ethereal spheres. The speech is fiery, unyielding, pest, and ultimately saving. The teaching, Christian in its essence, is not confined to the limits and consolidations as a terrestrial Church whatsoever. Far from pathos, maceration and tears, he invites us to do our work in Creation keeping in mind and heart the eternal smile of an angel.
