Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

-There are many paths to Walker Percy. He is known to some as a great satirist, whose 'Lost in the Cosmos' was truly their last and best 'self-help book' in navigating an alien culture. Others discovered his novels - uncommon spiritual testaments - as wondrous revelations of their own condition. Still others found Percy to be a welcome philosophical essayist, unmasking the pretenses of post-modern academia.
Here is a book where all the paths converge, truly a labor of love which integrates Percy's philosophical, theological, and artistic vision. Robert Lauder has fashioned a gift not only to those who already love the writings of Walker Percy, but also to those who have only heard of him and want to be introduced to a wonderful mind.- (Rev. John F. Kavanaugh S.J., Saint Louis University, MO)

Reseña del editor:

One of the most important American thinkers and novelists of the latter half of the twentieth century, Walker Percy in his six novels and numerous essays gave a Christian existentialist critique of a contemporary society. Emphasizing the mystery of free persons, Percy's writings explore and dramatize the mystery of interpersonal relations and the mystery of human person's relationship with God. This book explores Percy's existential and religious vision.
