The Unbearable Lightness of Being Peruvian
Share:
Bernardo Haour Hartman was born in Paris between the wars and, as a young man, entered the Jesuit novitiate with the aim of better understanding the world in which he lived. In 1986, at the age of 51, an opportunity for adventure arose: to leave France and work with the Jesuit order in Peru. He accepted without thinking that this journey would lead him to seek something unusual for a European of his age: to live the rest of his life as a Peruvian.
