Este libro recoge las conversaciones mantenidas entre John Berger, John Christie, sor Lucia Kuppens y sor Telchilde Hinckley tras visitar en 2009 la capilla de Ronchamp de Le Corbusier. En este viaje de peregrinaje espiritual y arquitectónico, los diálogos afloran como un homenaje en vivo a la capilla y a su arquitecto. Los cuatro visitantes acuden a Notre-Dame-du-Haute desde trayectorias muy distintas, cuatro miradas que se cruzan en ricos diálogos donde aparecen con inusitada frescura y espontaneidad temas tan universales como el valor de la historia, la espiritualidad del lugar, la luz o la materia.El libro viene introducido por un texto de John Christie que cuenta las circunstancias del viaje y recupera asimismo un texto que John Berger escribió en 1965 tras la muerte de Le Corbusier.
