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.
