Alexis Carrel is died in 1944. A half-century later, the most we know about his life comes from his widow. Pupil of the Jesuits, faith lost with Claude Bernard, recovered thanks to his wife, papers lefts to the Jesuits ..., all is well. Too beautiful edifying story to be true ... Details show that mystification trouble is in it. Who was, what thought exactly Carrel? Light may be shed only by an exhaustive study of his manuscripts and letters.
亚历克西斯·卡雷尔于1944年去世。半个世纪后，我们对他生平的了解大多来自他的遗孀。他曾是耶稣会士的学生，因克劳德·贝尔纳而失去信仰，后因妻子而重拾信仰，文件留给了耶稣会士……，一切都很美好。这个故事太美好、太有教化意义了，不太可能是真的……细节表明其中存在神秘化的问题。卡雷尔究竟是谁，他具体是怎么想的？只有通过对他的手稿和信件进行详尽研究，才可能找到答案。
