"'If we submit everything to reason our religion will be left with nothing mysterious or supernatural.' Blaise Pascal, the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes, was a gifted mathematician and physicist, but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. The Pensees is a collection of philosophical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in psychological, social, metaphysical and--above all--theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in God's grace. This masterly translation conveys Pascal's disarmingly personal tone and captures all the fire and passion of the original. Also contained in this volume are a comparison between different editions, appendices and a bibliography. / Blaise Pascal was born in Clermont in 1623, the son of a government official. During his short life he left his mark on mathematics, physics, religious controversy and literature. A convert to Jansenism, he engaged with gusto in a controversy with the Jesuits, which gave rise to his Lettres Provinciales on which, with the Pensees, his literary fame chiefly rests. A remarkable stylist, he is regarded by many as the greatest of French prose artists. He died, after a long illness, in 1662. Dr. A. J. Krailsheimer was born in 1921 and was Tutor in French at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1957 until his retirement in 1988.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - ‘She saw in the rainbow the earth's new architecture, the old brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over - arching heaven . . ‘ Set in the rural in midlands of England, D. H. Lawrence's THE RAINBOW explores the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, conveying how their rural existence is gradually but profoundly changed by the influx of industry and urbanism. But it is young Ursula Brangwen, discovering herself through her sexual awakening, who becomes the focus of Lawrence's classic work, which was banned by court order when it was first published in London in 1915. This edition reprints that original, unexpurgated text. Using both religious and metaphysical imagery, Lawrence stunningly evokes the erotic lives of his characters. In the union of Tom and Lydia, Anita and Will, and in Ursula's passionate relationships with a Polish soldier and her school mistress, Lawrence exposes the complex dynamics of marriage and physical love - inevitably a sexual tug - of - war that is both formidable and inescapable. A brilliantly rendered work of art, Lawrence's THE RAINBOW is a masterpiece of modern fiction - one that is both visionary and prophetic. inventory #33052 ISBN: 0451525299., 0<
