Vipers' Tangle begins as a man's letter to his estranged wife, explaining his hatred for her and their children, and is transformed under Mauriac's masterful pen into a diary of spiritual and psychological battles against God, family, and self. With remarkable subtlety and sensitivity, Mauriac relates the transformation of Monsieur Louis by the sublime workings of grace. Vipers' Tangle's superb arc and unflinching examination of the human heart makes it easily one of the greatest novels-Catholic or otherwise-of all time.This edition of Vipers'¿Tangle features an insightful Introduction and detailed Notes from Timothy P. O'Malley that together serve to deepen one's appreciation of Mauriac's masterpiece.

Like a Roaring Lion (first published in 1854 as The Spirit-Rapper: An Autobiography) is an intellectual tour de force and a spiritual odyssey through the religious kaleidoscope of nineteenth-century America. Orestes Brownson witnessed firsthand the obsession of his age with spiritualism and the occult, and in Like a Roaring Lion he undertakes the daunting task of illustrating its temptations and dangers. Today, no less than in the 1850s, does the spirit of the age and the lord of this world still whisper that we humans can be as gods. In his nonfiction works, Brownson explored the philosophical underpinnings of that characteristic position of modernity; in Like a Roaring Lion, he uses a fictional account drawn from actual persons and events to bring to life the spiritual forces still striving to bend and break our world.

Whose Body?, first published in 1923, introduces the inimitable Lord Peter Wimsey to the world of crime. When a corpse, wearing only spectacles, is discovered in a bathtub in Battersea, Lord Peter must determine the identity of both the criminal and the victim. Assisted by Charles Parker of Scotland Yard and his matchless valet Bunter, Lord Peter realizes that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Sir Reuben Levy, a prominent London financier, is somehow linked to the body in the bath. The investigation into the murder and the missing banker leads Wimsey all around England, bringing him face-to-face at last with the murderer.A defining author of the mystery genre, Sayers produces with Whose Body? a delightfully suspenseful debut charged with wit and whimsy.

The Philosophy of Existence, among the first translations into English of the Catholic existentialist Gabriel Marcel, is composed of four distinct essays-"On the Ontological Mystery"; "Existence and Human Freedom"; "Testimony and Existentialism"; and "An Essay in Biography." Together, the essays articulate the integral elements, constitutive terminology, and characteristic anthropology of Marcel's philosophy of existence, and describe its marked differences with the atheist existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, and its subtle-yet crucial-departures from the existentialism of Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers.Provocative and penetrating, The Philosophy of Existence provides an analysis of enduring relevance on modern man and the modern condition, worthy of repeated readings.

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.
