Description

Art and literature are in the business of enchantment. When we are enchanted, we are captivated by some part of life--whether it be the fragile charm of the week-old infant or the force of a waterfall that takes our breath away. Enchantment--like the vital energy of Eros--defies definition. Poetry more often finds the words for this phenomenon. This book opens a window into the rich writings of Catholic authors during the 20th century--including Evelyn Waugh, James Joyce, Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene and others--who found the mesmerizing presence of God in an often disenchanted world.
