At twenty-eight, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt embarks on a hike in the great Algerian south. During the expedition, he loses sight of his companions and gets lost in the immensity of the Hoggar. Without water or food during the freezing night in the desert, he feels no fear but instead feels a burning force rising within him. Stardust in infinity, the rationalist philosopher sees all his certainties shaken. A feeling of peace, happiness, and eternity invades him. Why not call this fire God? This night of fire - as Pascal called his mystical night - Eric Emmanuel Schmitt recounts it for the first time, revealing through a fascinating inner journey his spiritual intimacy and the miraculous experience that transformed his life as a man and writer.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a Franco-Belgian playwright, short story writer and novelist, as well as a film director. His plays have been staged in over fifty countries all over the world.
