We are all condemned to love each other or to perish, by Christiane des Sagettes, translated from the French, presents, in a novelistic form, some visionary ideas for transforming our world. She emphasizes the union between the East and the West and the implantation of a New International Economic Order. Diana, the heroine is a French surgeon who after horrific tragedy in her own life goes to India. There, she discovers the Third World. As a doctor without Border volunteer, she is involved in a humanitarian mission. She is in charge of resettling Iranian boy-soldiers taken prisoner during the Iran-Iraq war. But in Teheran, Diana is kidnapped by the revolutionary Islamic militia and taken as a hostage. She discovers the precepts of the Baha’i faith that fight the abusive interpretation of the Koran by fanatics. The Baha’is work after a confederated world where Orient and Occident are friends. It’s impossible to remain unmoved by this fascinating novel.
