Bøker av Albert Beguin

Léon Bloy: A Study in Impatience is neither criticism nor canonization. Instead, Albert Béguin simply presents the person and the preacher of the "Pilgrim of the Absolute," a man with brilliant insights into the world as it could be and terrible impatience with the world as it was. Bloy's writings shed a tremendous, at times blinding, light upon the central mysteries of human existence. Readers who have encountered Bloy in his novels or in his diary (The Pilgrim of the Absolute) will find in Béguin a worthy guide in the journey to understanding-and respecting-one of the most fascinating and difficult minds of our age. Léon Bloy was a prophet, living and suffering alongside those whom he sought to save by his words. Like a prophet, he strove to bring the word of God to the people; and like a prophet, he was impatient to see the seeds of those words take root and bear fruit that would last.
