Alexis Leger - later known as the poet Saint-John Perse - and Dag Hammarskjold were important figures in diplomatic and literary spheres, and their lives shared a number of uncanny parallels that eventually brought them into contact with one another. Alexis Leger, French secretary-general of foreign affairs, perhaps saw in Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold the continuation of his diplomatic career, while Hammarskjold, in the midst of difficult international crises, found inspiration and strength in reading and translating Perse's poem Chronique. Marie-Noelle Little's expansive prologue to this book sets the stage for situating the two world-renowned personalities in their exchange of letters during the six years before Hammarskjold's death. The letters themselves are characterized by world vision, a noble tone, and delicate sentiments, and afford English-speaking audiences rare access to the revealing correspondence between two Nobel Prize winners.

Aux grands textes poétiques déjà rassemblés dans uvre poétique I et II viennent s'adjoindre Oiseaux, Chanté par celle qui fut là et Chant pour un équinoxe. Àla suite des deux célèbres discours de Suède (pour le Prix Nobel) et de Florence (Pour Dante) sont réunis une série d'hommages et de Témoignages littéraires et politiques dont la plupart n'avaient paru qu'en revue. Certains d'entre eux sont inédits. Tous sont peu connus et rassemblés dans ce volume pour la première fois. Enfin la correspondance ( Lettres de jeunesse, d'Asie, d'Exil) livrera au lecteur un Saint-John Perse inconnu et intime. Une biographie, une bibliographie et des notes viennent compléter cet ouvrage.
