› Find signed collectible books: 'Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal's Pensees'
Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pensées are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic.
Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pensées which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth. [via]

"L'homme est un roseau pensant" : cette célèbre pensée ne constitue qu'un des quelque huit cents fragments que comptent les Pensées, qui composent l'un des textes fondateurs de la pensée moderne. Destinées à l'origine à convaincre les libertins de la nécessité de croire en Dieu, ces pensées, telles que nous les lisons, forment un texte qui dépasse largement la simple apologie de la religion chrétienne et qui s'adresse à un public très large, puisque son principal sujet, c'est l'Homme. En voulant apporter la preuve mathématique de l'existence de Dieu (c'est l'argument bien connu du "pari"), Pascal nous livre avant tout une exemplaire peinture de l'Homme, miné par sa misère, mais sauvé par sa grandeur. Maximes à méditer au hasard ou essai sur l'Homme à dévorer d'une traite, chacun trouvera dans ce texte une lecture qui lui correspond. --Karla Manuele [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Pere Goriot'
Nobody writes about money like Balzac, and his classic chronicle of a young man from the provinces clawing his way to success in 19th century Paris, even as an older man is victimized by the same milieu, shrewdly captures the financial dimension of so much that goes on between people. The boarding house in which the two protagonists live is a microcosm of their world, and Goriot's treatment by his daughters would make Lear blanch. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Three Tales'
Three Tales offers an excellent introduction to the work of one of the world's greatest novelists. A Simple Heart is set in the Normandy of Flaubert's childhood, while Saint Julian and Herodias draw on medieval myth and the biblical story of John the Baptist for their inspiration. Each of the tales invites comparison with one or other of Flaubert's novels, but they also reveal a fresh and distinctive side to the writers's genius. [via]
