Alexis Carrel (1873-1944) is possibly the only Nobel-Prize winner (medicine, 1912) who witnessed a miraculous cure. Its beneficiary was a young woman, Marie Bailly, on the verge of dying of tubercular peritonitis. Her sudden cure took place in Lourdes on May 28, 1902 under Carrel's scientific as well as sceptical eyes. In this book Carrel describes what he saw and what he thought as one who had by then come to the conclusion that there was no need for belief in God and Revelation. The gift of faith came to Carrel only after many years following his gripping experience in Lourdes.
In the vast literature on miracles, Carrel's searching analysis of an astounding physical cure and of himself as its privileged withness makes The Voyage to Lourdes a unique document.
The Voyage to Lourdes is presented by Stanley L. Jaki, winner of the Templeton Prize for 1987, honorary member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and author of some thirty books on the relations of science and religion, on of them on miracles and physics.
