«Secret des hommes, secret des dieux» is Henry Quinson's essay on the film Des hommes et des dieux, in paperback (295 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs the real events that inspired the film Of Gods and Men, by Xavier Beauvois: the life of the Trappist monks of the monastery of Tibhirine (Algeria) in 1996, amid violence between Islamist armed groups and the government. Henry Quinson, the film's monastic adviser, recounts how the community must decide whether to stay in the monastery or leave it.
Published by Presses de la Renaissance in 2011, with a foreword by Xavier Beauvois and winner of the 2011 Spiritualités d'aujourd'hui Prize.
