About this product
Product Information
This book has the power to enrich and even to radically change those who read it, enabling them to tap into the wealth and health of Christian civilization. Beginning with a general introduction to the Great Books of Civilization, you will discover the authentic meaning of the word "civilization" and will then be shown how the Great Books are a product and a reflection of civilized culture. The reader is then taken on a tour of twelve of the greatest books ever written, from St. Augustine's Confessions and the works of Shakespeare to some of the masterpieces of nineteenth and twentieth century literature. During this tour, you will come to understand how the greatest stories ever told are a true reflection of the greatest truths ever taught. You will learn how these stories share in the storytelling power of God Himself, who shows us Himself in the story of Jesus Christ. You will then see how great literature shares in the storytelling power of Christ, as told in His parables. Those who read this work will be taken deeper into the presence of the Creator through the beauty of the fruits of His creative gifts.

"The great literature of the world is the telling and retelling of the human story. Joseph Pearce has proven himself to be one of the outstanding men of letters of our time. There could be no better Virgil to our Dante to guide us through the heights and depths of the great works." -- Dale Ahlquist, President, Society of G.K. Chesterton; Author, The Story of the Family "Joseph Pearce has written a companion study of much value for readers of the great books he has identified, rightly, as formative for the English-speaking Christian moral imagination. Especially valuable is his attention to historical and biographical contexts, rooting each in the author's personal, historical and spiritual matrix, matters far too often neglected in contemporary criticism. Highly recommended!" -- David Lyle Jeffrey, FRSC , Distinguished Senior Fellow, Baylor Institute for Studies in Religion "In this collection of sparkling and informative essays, Joseph Pearce brings together his breadth of knowledge and depth of insight. Combining a love of literature with his love of the Lord, Pearce sheds light on Shakespeare, is frank about Frankenstein and is witty and wise about Wilde and Waugh. Pearce's comments and criticisms will help you understand and enjoy civilizations greatest books." -- Fr Dwight Longenecker , Author Beheading Hydra, A Radical Plan for Christians in an Atheistic Age, "The great literature of the world is the telling and retelling of the human story. Joseph Pearce has proven himself to be one of the outstanding men of letters of our time. There could be no better Virgil to our Dante to guide us through the heights and depths of the great works." -- Dale Ahlquist, President, Society of G. K. Chesterton; Author, The Story of the Family "A valuable guide. Pearce's thoughtful commentary is particularly helpful for works with darker themes such as Othello , Wuthering Heights , and The Power and the Glory , and offering fresh insights into beloved works such as A Christmas Carol ." -- Holly Ordway , Author, Not God's Type: An Atheist Academic Lays Down Her Arms "A companion study for readers of the great books that were formative for the English-speaking Christian moral imagination. Especially valuable is his attention to historical and biographical contexts, rooting each in the author's personal, historical, and spiritual matrix. Highly recommended!" -- David Lyle Jeffrey, F.R.S.C. , Distinguished Senior Fellow, Baylor Institute for Studies in Religion "If you have an interest in the great works of English Literature, but do not know where to start, this is the book for you. If you were put off reading at school by uninspiring teachers, this is the book for you. Joseph Pearce's new book is a tour-de-force." -- Fiorella de Maria , Author, the Father Gabriel Mystery series "Combining a love of literature with his love of the Lord, Pearce sheds light on Shakespeare, is frank about Frankenstein and is witty and wise about Wilde and Waugh. Pearce's comments and criticisms will help you understand and enjoy civilization's greatest books." -- Fr. Dwight Longenecker , Author, Beheading Hydra: A Radical Plan for Christians in an Atheistic Age "A work to inform, instruct, and delight. Pearce recovers the access that literature of the highest quality gives us to the structure of reality and to the nature and destiny of the human soul. He recovers the image of man as homo viator , a pilgrim in search of truth and eternal felicity." -- Daniel J. Mahoney , Author, The Idol of Our Age and The Other Solzhenitsyn
