"Quand je vis pour la premire fois celui qui se nommait Jsus de Nazareth, il m'appela par mon nom. Qui tait-il Comment me connaissait-il Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais en cet instant, je sus que je devais quitter ma barque, et le suivre. D'autres vinrent ensuite... Jusqu' ce que nous soyons douze. Ses disciples." Ces propos sont ceux de Pierre, le narrateur de l'histoire contenue dans ce livre. Une histoire dont Peter Madsen a su transcrire l'universalit, la force motionnelle et spirituelle, sous la forme d'une bande dessine au graphisme puissant, aux dialogues chaleureux, qui rappellent constamment la profonde humanit de ce rcit.
