Reading the Great Books from a Catholic Point of View
A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:
"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan
Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.
"Every soul that uplifts itself uplifts the world." --Elisabeth Leseur
Wow. Take a look at some of the illustrations from this 1880 edition of Don Quixote illustrated by by Ricardo Balaca and Jose Luis Pellicer. It's on eBay right now, so if you have an extra $6,000 laying around, let me know and I'll give you my shipping address :-)    Labels: great books, rare books |
