| Summary |
Born into a wealthy family, Henri Grouès was a resistance fighter, member of parliament, defender of the homeless, revolutionary and iconoclast. From the benches of the National Assembly to the shanty towns of the Parisian suburbs, his commitment to the weakest earned him international fame. The creation of Emmaüs and the tidal wave of his unforgettable appeal in the winter of 1954 made him an icon. However, every day, he doubted his actions. His fragility, his suffering, his barely credible private life remained unknown to the general public. Revolted by poverty and injustice, often criticized, sometimes betrayed, Henri Grouès had a thousand lives and fought a thousand battles. He left his mark on history under the name he chose for himself: Abbé Pierre. |
