Marie Une vie au-delà des siècles (French)

The original French version of the book Une vie au-delà des siècles Marie.

"Mary, mother of the Savior and of humanity"; "Mary, virgin of the dawns and stars, mantle of mercy that covers the poor". "Humble and high", as Dante would write. What other figure has passed through so many mysteries, received so many invocations? How has the figure of Mary crossed the texts of the West? How has the Marian tradition been told? In this book, the philologist Carlo Ossola proposes a journey to explore the Marian tradition. He evokes the life of Mary in Palestine, the cult of her holy house at Loreto, and the literary texts that have been dedicated to her over the centuries. It also shows how, between the dogmatic proclamation of the Immaculate Conception (1854) and that of the Assumption (1950), the collective sufferings of the two world wars have accentuated Marian meditation. An original work, like a journey through history, literature and theology.
