Temporal and Eternal

By Charles Péguy

Book Overview

Temporal and Eternal is a profound and poetic assessment of the relationship between tradition and liberty, between politics and society, and between Christianity and the modern world. This edition includes a new foreword by Pierre Manent, Professor of Political Science at the Centre de Recherches Politiques Raymond Aron in Paris.

As the twenty-first century begins, the relationships this book explores are as relevant as they were in the last century, when French poet and essayist Charles P guy addressed them in "Memories of Youth" and "Clio I", the two essays in this volume.

The brevity, beauty, and timeless relevance of P guy's prose make this volume attractive for historians, scholars, and laymen.
