[Dialogue] Bonhoeffer executed 60 years ago today

[Suzanne Heilman]

   Thanks  for  the  life story about a man who wrote the beautiful story
   I've admired ffor a lot of years. I suppose if the story I read is not
   considered  good,  the  improved version must be wonderful-I will look
   for it! All the best Lucille.

   four  years  ago,  but  it  wasn't  until  this past April that it was
   >verified  as  being  St-Ex's  plane.  >  St-Ex's book, Citadelle (The

   as  the  Bible.  I  highly recommend it, but with this >caveat: I have
   never read it in English so I don't know how good the >translation is.
   Katherine  Woods'  1943  original translation of The Little >Prince is
   not  good.  However,  Harcourt published a new translation by >Richard
   Howard  in  2000, and, after 60 years-plus,The Little Prince has found
   >a  new  voice.  >  After  the RS-I at the Franciscan Monastery in Rye
   Beach,  NH, when I was >teaching in Dover, I met a Franciscan who knew
   Annabella  (Tyrone  Power's  >actress  (former)  wife) who was a close
   friend  of  St -Ex ,and he promised to >let me know next time she came
   to  Rye  on  retreat.  I brought my Editions de >la Pleiade copy of St
   Ex's  complete works, and she signed it for me as she >told me stories
   about  "ce  grand  ours  d'homme"--that  big  bear of a man--whom >she
   visited in a Calif. hospital during the early war years when he was in
   >the  States.  >  I  can't  recommend  St-Ex's  books  highly  enough:
   >Southern  Mail (Courrier-Sud) >Night Flight (Vol de nuit) >Wind, Sand
   and  Stars (Terre des hommes) >Flight to Arras (Pilote de guerre). > >
   Join me in celebrating the life and death of a missional man who, like
   >Bonhoeffer,  publicly  opposed  Hitler,  and also Petain, in his life
   choices >and in his writings. > >Lucille > >
